# Configure invoice settings and numbering

Invoice Settings controls who an invoice is addressed to, whether it is attached to payment notifications, and the text that appears in invoice communication. The invoice number setting below it controls the starting number for future invoices.

The **Invoice Settings** dialog keeps the recipient, attachment, and reusable note controls together.

## Configure invoice content

1. Open **Event Settings** and select **Payments & Invoices**.
2. Select **Edit Invoice Settings**.
3. Choose the **Billed To** value. The automatic option uses the client name and client email from the event.
4. Turn on **Attach Invoice to Payment Notifications** when payment notification emails should include the invoice.
5. Enter reusable **Company Notes**, **Payment Instructions**, and **Client Notes** when that text should appear on invoices for the workspace.
6. Select **Save**.

Keep reusable text general enough to apply across the events that use the defaults. Use the event-level invoice settings for a note that applies to only one event.

## Set the invoice number

Below Invoice Settings, select **Set Invoice Number**. Enter a whole number in **Invoice Number** that is greater than the current value. Review the warning, then select **Set Invoice Number** to confirm.

This changes the numbering for newly generated invoices and can create a gap in your invoice numbers. It cannot be undone, so check the number before confirming.

Invoice numbering is separate from the invoice text and recipient settings. Changing the number does not change the payment schedule or invoice content.

## Understand the scope

Invoice text and attachment choices are copied into future events created without an event template. Changing the defaults does not rewrite invoices or notification settings already attached to existing events. The invoice number is a forward-only sequence setting, so treat it as a workspace-level numbering decision.
