How it works

Box+Dice automatically assigns the next highest receipt number based on the last used number. If your receipt numbers appear out of sequence, it means a lower number has already been used.

Example: If the system suggests receipt number 15002, it means 15001 has already been used.

Manage editable receipt numbers

You can also control whether receipt numbers are editable in your account settings:

• Go to: Settings > Accounting > Accounts
• Select the Account

• For each account: 
  • Tick Editable Receipt Numbers to enable manual entry
  • Untick Editable Receipt Numbers to use automatic numbering

• Click Save

After saving, changes take effect immediately. If editable receipt numbers are disabled, the field becomes locked and the system auto-generates the next available number. If enabled, you can manually enter or adjust the receipt number when creating a receipt.
