# Numbering sequences

You can manage your numbering sequences in the following ways:

- From the document type view page, or
- From the document creation form

## From the Document type view page

To access the document type view page, go to the main menu and click **Settings > Document types**, then select the desired document type.

From this page, you can create one or more numbering sequences by typing the name of the sequence (e.g. B) and clicking **Add sequence** to save it.

### Managing a saved numbering sequence

As long as at least one numbering sequence has been created and hasn’t been used in any documents, you'll be able to **Rename** or **Delete** it by clicking the *pencil* or *red bin* icon respectively, as shown in the image above.

You can also **Archive** one or more numbering sequences you no longer use by clicking the *archive icon* to the right of the red bin. Archiving a numbering sequence removes it from selection menus but keeps any related document data intact (e.g. invoices issued under that sequence).

To reactivate an archived numbering sequence, click the *archived records* icon and then select the *eye* icon.

You can also set a numbering sequence as the **Default** by selecting the respective field. This ensures that the selected sequence is prefilled every time you create a new document of this type.

## From the document creation form

When creating or editing an invoice, you can create a new numbering sequence or manage an existing one by clicking **Manage sequences** field.

In the pop-up window, you’ll see all **Active** and **Archived** numbering sequences associated with the selected document type. You can **Rename**, **Delete** or **Archive** them using the respective icons. You can also **Add** one or more new numbering sequences directly from this screen.

To reactivate an archived sequence, click the relevant field and then the **eye** icon.

          Important!

          

- Each numbering sequence can only be associated with one document type.
- Regardless of how many sequences are linked to a document type, each sequence always maintains its own unique numbering.
