# How to set up invoice numbering ?

## Bottom left menu \> My Company \> Preferences

By default, **Sequence** automatically generates your invoice numbers to save you time. If you wish to set up a custom numbering format, you can do so from the **Invoice, Quote, and Credit Note Numbering** section.

1\. Click on your name in the **bottom-left menu**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures01](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures01.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures01.png)

2\. From the dropdown options, select **My Company**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures02](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures02.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures02.png)

3\. Click on the **Preferences** tab.

![numerotation\_des\_factures03](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures03.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures03.png)

4. Here you’ll see a section displaying the structure of the automatic invoice numbering. This is the numbering applied by default. If you want to create a custom numbering format, click on the link **Configure invoice, quote, and credit note numbering**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures04](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures04.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures04.png)

5\. Then click on the **Add Numbering** button.

![numerotation\_des\_factures05](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures05.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures05.png)

6\. A pop-up window will appear to help you set up your **custom numbering format**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures06](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures06.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures06.png)

7\. In the green box, you’ll be able to **preview** the format of the numbering as you configure it.

![numerotation\_des\_factures07](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures07.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures07.png)

8\. Start by indicating whether you want your numbering to begin with a **prefix**, and if so, specify what it should be.

![numerotation\_des\_factures08](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures08.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures08.png)

9\. Next, choose the **year format** to appear at the beginning of the invoice.

![numerotation\_des\_factures09](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures09.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures09.png)

10\. Specify whether you want the numbering to be **random**—that is, non-sequential and unpredictable—or **sequential**. If sequential, define the **starting number**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures10](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures10.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures10.png)

11\. Finally, indicate whether you want the increment value to increase by **1** or by a **custom increment**.

![numerotation\_des\_factures11](https://university.wearesequence.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Ventes/numerotation_des_factures11.png?width=688&height=387&name=numerotation_des_factures11.png)

12\. Click on the **Add** button to save the new numbering format.

13\. When creating an invoice, you will be able to choose between the **automatic numbering** or one of the **custom numberings** you have created.
