Hi,

you could change your invoice number in the settings and then let that restart from zero. For example your invoice starts now with INV(YY)(MM) and you could change it to F(YY)-0001  
But I would check with your accountant before you do so, as (when in europe) your invoices have to remain consecutive. you can start a parallel series, but to do that every year might make things complicated.

It depends on the mask you use. We use mask {0000@1}/{yyyy} which resets automatically every year.

Can I set INV-{yy}.{mm}-{0000@1} but reset number every year but not every month?  
Thanks for your help.
