How Does Invoice Numbering Work?

Objective:

• Understand how Invoice Numbers are applied in Clio
• How is a new invoice number generated for a bill?

Environment:

• Clio Web App

Additional Information:

• Non-numeric characters can be included manually in the Invoice ID field by editing Bills
• Automatically assigned Invoice Numbers will only include numeric characters (there are no further customization options available at the moment)
• You can change the bill number to be lower than your current invoices' highest number, however the following invoice generated will continue increasing in number from the highest invoice

Answer:

Invoices in Clio are numbered sequentially. When you create a new Bill, it will be assigned the next number based on the highest number of an existing Invoice in the system, including Voided Bills.
