No if you reprint you pick up the old number.

How do you manage that then, if you increment the invoice number when you create an invoice.

he's not going to steal from himself

but it would enable him to steal from the taxman in much the same manner as mentioned by GPGeorge.

And what happens if you delete 3 orders, and can only replace 2 before the tax man cometh?

i do that when invoice number is created. there after it's held with/linked to the original order

Then on his own head be it!
I think the problem with the current system is that orders are locked once an invoice is created. We're going to change that so that he shouldn't have to delete. We're now also going to have a cancel facility which will appease the tax man. My man is safe from jail.

Proceed at your own risk, because you've now been advised of the increased potential for fraud.

If you deliberately open this system up to allow deletion or modification of already invoiced orders, mostly bad things can happen after that.

I suggest, though, that rather than taking our word for it, you ask your client's tax advisor or accountant for their evaluation of the practice.
