#️⃣ Can I continue my invoice numbering when creating a new sequence?
No. When you create a new sequence, you must start a new numbering. 🔢
⚠️ Mandatory rule: this rule applies if you change sequence or migrate between invoicing software. You cannot have a sequence whose numbering does not start at number 1.
1Why
Every sequence has a unique identifier in the SAF-T file, which varies depending on the software that creates the sequence. Therefore, a new sequence cannot continue the numbering of a previous one. It must start at number 1.
2What Despacho No. 8631/2014 says
According to Despacho n.º 8631/2014, which regulates these rules, in section 2.3.3:
"A given sequence/type of invoicing document, goods movement document, or any other document that can be delivered to a customer for verification of goods delivery or service provision cannot contain documents from different origins (e.g., documents created in the system and imported from an external system in the same sequence/type of invoicing document)."
⚠️ Attention: if you were using another invoicing software, the sequence name in InvoiceXpress must be different from the name used in the previous program. Otherwise, you risk sending the Tax Authority documents with the same number and sequence from different origins.
💬 Frequently asked questions
❓ Can I continue my invoice numbering when I create a new sequence?
No. A new sequence must start its numbering at number 1.
❓ Why can't a new sequence continue the numbering of a previous one?
Every sequence has a unique identifier in the SAF-T file, which varies depending on the software that creates the sequence, so a new sequence cannot continue the numbering of a previous one.
❓ What should I do if I was using another invoicing software?
The sequence name in InvoiceXpress must be different from the name used in the previous program, so that documents from different origins do not share the same number and sequence.
