How to Keep Track of Invoice Numbers in QuickBooks

QuickBooks provides a comprehensive search function with an option to search by invoice number. If you don't know the invoice number, you can also use the search feature to find an invoice by the customer's name, invoice amount or date. Advanced search options include the ability to search for information recorded into notes, descriptions and memos. If you want to view all invoices in order by number, you can use the reporting menu to sort and track invoices.

Click the "Edit" menu, and select the "Search" option.

Type the invoice number, customer name or other relevant data into the "Search" field.
