How do you number your invoices?
Just wondering what your numbering scheme is if you have one?
And do you always tie a quote number to your invoice?

Re: How do you number your invoices?
I number mine by the date the contract is started suffixed with the month of the agreement. For example, if started working for a client on June 1, 2008, their first invoice would be numbered 060108-01. Now if I start working for two clients on same date, the other client would start be 060108A-01.

My first client's invoices start with 100's, 2nd with 200's and so on.

Re: How do you number your invoices?
I use QuickBooks for my billing and it automatically assigns the numbers. I started my invoice numbers at 100.

Re: How do you number your invoices?
I am similar to Rebecka. I use Quickbooks Pro and it automatically calculates the invoice numbers. For me, my importance lies in the client's name and date of invoice opposed to the actual invoice number.

Re: How do you number your invoices?
I number mine with OA-200_-#
OA = Oakville Admin followed by the year followed by invoice number, invoice 1 for 2008 would be OA-2008-1

Re: How do you number your invoices?
I use the client's or company name and a number. So, John's Design would be JD008 representing invoice number 8 to John Design.
