Overview

By default, invoices in Roofr start at 00001 and increase sequentially. If you're transitioning from another invoicing tool, updating your starting number ensures consistency. You can also set default memos and footers to save time and maintain a professional look on all invoices.

By the end of this guide, you'll know how to update your invoice starting number and set default memos and footers to streamline your invoicing process.
