We have activated the contribute form within our CIVI.

We wondered: with the arrival of the new year, when there will be the need to restart from 1 with the invoice numbering, do we have to do some operation or will the system restart automatically?

Regards

Reset to default

It will not restart automatically, the requirement to restart from 1 (with a year somewhere in the invoice number?) is depending on countries AFAIK :-)

So what you need to do first thing in the new year is navigate to Administer>CiviContribute>CiviContribute Component Settings and update the invoice prefix (and the credit notes prefix if you need that too).

  • I don't think there is likely to be any country specific requirement for this, but that its something that an organisation may set as policy. I certainly would not reset as its good accounting practice to have invoice numbers unique, but using the prefix is a good way to achieve what you want.

  • Thank you for your answer. In our country the invoice numbering restarts every January. Is there a way to reset it manually?

  • See my answer above? That is how to do it manually :-)

  • I tried but updating the prefix does not activate the invoice numbering reset

  • There won't be any way to reset the actual Contribution ID as that is the database row value and hence has to be unique
