Keep order, invoice and credit-note numbers separate

Frachta lets you set up independent numbering series for orders, invoices and credit notes, per company.

The numeration settings in your Frachta account let you decide how orders, invoices and credit notes are numbered for your company, with each of these document types running on its own separate series so the counters never overlap or interfere with one another, no matter how many documents your company issues.

To see this in action, open your account and go to /account#numeration. There you will find the numeration section for your company, where the series for orders, invoices and credit notes are listed separately, each configured on its own rather than sharing a single running count.

If your company already has orders, invoices or credit notes in circulation, the numeration screen simply shows you the series that is already running for each type, so you can confirm at a glance that orders, invoices and credit notes are not mixed into a single sequence.

Because the series are split by purpose, issuing a credit note will never advance your invoice numbers, and creating a new order will never touch your invoice or credit-note sequence. Each series moves forward only when a document of that specific type is created, keeping every count tied to its own purpose. This keeps invoicing and credit-note handling predictable, however many orders your company processes.

This structure saves you from the situation where numbers from different document types get tangled together, making it hard to explain a gap or a duplicate to an accountant, an auditor or a tax authority. With orders, invoices and credit notes kept on their own series from the start, every number can be traced back to exactly where it belongs.
