Invoice number

Question

I have received invoices from a temporary employment agency. This is a payment to me (income).

But this invoice has a supplier invoice number. Am I supposed to use this number in my accounting or should I use my own invoice number?

I would recommend entering this invoice here using your own numbering system.

During a tax audit, they mainly check whether you have a logical, chronological order in your invoices, which is important!

In this case, your customer creates the invoice using their own system. Of course, they do not take your invoice numbering into account. As a result, you will never have a nice, continuous series on your side.

If you enter the invoice with the number on it, that is also correct. You simply take over the existing invoice number.

However, if you include them in your own continuous sequence, you will have a neat, chronological numbering system without gaps or jumps. This is clearer from an administrative point of view and is our preferred option. Specifically, you can select a continuous numbering system of your own, which is the neatest solution.
