Learn how to write an invoice: Start with a professional layout. Include company and customer information. Add a unique invoice number, an issue date, and a due date.

There is no set standard for the number of digits in an invoice number. It can vary depending on the country and the specific business or organization. Some invoices may have 3 digits, while others may have 10 or more, but it should be noted that the invoice number must be unique to every invoice issued.

In most cases, you can find the invoice number at the top-left or top-right corner of the invoice. Every invoice must always have an invoice number.

For example, the invoice number 'INV-21-12-009' includes the month and year, referring to the ninth invoice issued in December 2021. The first invoice of the next month, January 2022, would be numbered 'INV-22-01-001'.

When you release an invoice, the system reverses the blocking indicator in the accounting document for the invoice. In the vendor line, the R in the field Payment block is deleted. You can release invoices while processing a blocked invoice.
