Numbering Invoices by Year in PCLaw

Some firms may want to number their invoices by year in PCLaw. With some limitations, this is possible.

At the beginning of the year, create your first invoice. In the “invoice number” field, type in the invoice number you wish to start with, such as 080001. PCLaw will ask if you wish to use this as a starting number for subsequent invoices.  Say yes.

Note that there are some limitations: you only have 6 characters and you cannot use non-numeric characters. So 2008-001 will not work, but 080001 will work.
