How to change numbering
Go to Settings - Template design and settings - Numbering
Find the section for the document type you want to configure (invoices, estimates, delivery notes, etc.)
Choose a predefined format or enter your own custom format
Set the Next document number to control what number the next new document will receive
Save
Numbering format characters
Use YY or YYYY for the current year
Use NN, NNN, or NNNN for the sequential number
Examples:
Format NNN → 001, 002, 003
Format YYYYNNN → 2025001, 2025002, 2025003
Format INV-YYYYNNNN with next number 580 → INV-20250580, INV-20250581...
Important notes
Each business in your Billdu account has its own separate numbering
There is only one numbering sequence per business
If you manually edit the number on a document while creating it, the automatic sequence is interrupted for that document only - it does not affect the overall sequence in Settings
Changing a number directly on an existing invoice does not affect the overall numbering
