Assign the Next Invoice Number

You can assign (reserve) the next invoice number at any time. You do not have to reserve the number when you actually generate invoices.

To assign the next invoice number:

1. From the Navigation menu, click Billing > Interactive Billing.
2. On the Interactive Billing form, open the project for which you want to assign the next invoice number.
3. On the toolbar, click Invoice > Assign Invoice Number.
4. On the Assign Invoice dialog box, select one of the following options:

   Option	Description
   Next Available	DPS will automatically assign the next available number. This number is then reserved for use for the next time that you generate invoices for the current project.
   Specific Number	Select this option and enter the number that you want DPS to use for the next invoice. If you enter an existing invoice number, DPS displays a prompt to tell you that the number is already in use. You can use the existing number but if you do so, the prior invoice that used that number will no longer be available for reprinting.

   You can change the next invoice number to use at any time. When invoices are accepted, DPS assigns the invoice number based on the most recent selection made.
5. Click OK.
