If there were a way for me to specify the starting invoice number when I create an invoice batch in bill4time, then this wouldn't be a problem. I haven't been able to think of any other possible solutions.

Is there any possibility that your team could add the ability to modify that "Invoice Start Number" on the "New Invoice Batch" screen? Surely I'm not the only one experiencing this conundrum.

  Being able to change the invoice number would be amazingly helpful, especially when porting over old clients' outstanding invoices to a new BIll4Time account. I've never used a system that wouldn't allow you to override an invoice number.

  I have created an invoice on accident and deleted it. Rather than reusing the deleted invoice number the system moves on to the next leaving a gap in invoice numbers. It is not a big deal but allowing the use of custom invoice numbers would avoid gaps in terms of invoice management.

  Yes, this would be great!  This would also allow for invoice numbers to be customized by practice area.  For example, an invoice to a client under the Employment Law practice area by be numbered E0001; whereas, an invoice to a workers' comp client might be WC0001.  

  ... Or by office LAO 10001   SDO 10001   SFO 10001, etc.

  The field exists to enter an invoice start number, but won't let me type into it. (?)

  This feature would be tremendously helpful. It doesn't seem that difficult to implement as the invoice field already appears to be intended to be altered but the functionality appears to be blocked. Please get this feature ASAP!
