changing invoice numbers A 09-27-2006

I'm now using a handheld in the feild and and it has started a new batch
of invoice numbers (P100; P101 etc.) P being Palm or Portable, so you
know that's where the invoice originated.

Now, when I go to do an invoice at the main machine, it want to use the
invoice number P108, because P107 was the last one created (even though
it was created on the handheld and is only there becuase I synced them).

Is there anyway to get quickbooks to ignore that and continue using the
6-digit invoice numbers that it has in the past? I do about half my
invoices on the handheld and the other half and the main machine and
would like to be able to see the differences between them. a lot of the
time there are even invoices entered on both ends before a sync, so if I
set the handheld to use the next 6 digit nuymber, I'll end up with
duplicates whan I sync.

Thx,

A

>From what I understand you will need to keep track of the last invoice
number used on each machine. Using the next number (i.e. 123456 for PC
and P109 for handheld) override the invoice number displayed in
Quickbooks.

While QB will keep track of two sets of numbers for checks (ex. handwritten
vs. printer) , there is no such option for other transaction types.

If you want to differentiate between invoices using the numbers, then you
must remember to reset the number to the next sequential at the time of
entry.
