Deleting test order

[tammy_kenny]

Recently I did a few test orders and deleted them. My next real order will now be out of sequence. For tax reasons I need all the invoice numbers to run consecutively. Any ideas about how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi there
Just food for thought because this happens to me sometimes. What if a customer doesn't pay for their order? Or depending if you have super orders installed or not what if you have to change an order (delete old and issue new)? I use my order numbers as invoice numbers however if an order gets cancelled or what ever I print it out, write on it why it was deleted and file it with the other invoices. If I should ever be audited I have a consecutive range of invoices.
