New Features in Sage 100: Extended Invoice Numbers

In 2025, Sage 100 introduced some highly anticipated features that will enhance the functionality of the Accounts Receivable, Sales Order, and Job Cost modules. As Sage 100 continues to evolve to meet the needs of businesses and their owners, these new updates provide an exciting upgrade to invoice numbering, extending the character limit from 7 to 20. This update allows businesses to customize and improve their tracking capabilities, creating a more personalized experience for Sage 100 users.  

What’s New in Sage 100? 

In past years, Sage 100 limited users to a 7-character invoice number, creating challenges for businesses with complex needs. With the new updates in 2025, Sage 100 can create invoice numbers with up to 20 characters, helping organizations create unique and descriptive invoice identifiers. If you’re a business that requires detailed tracking and special categorization of invoices, this Sage 100 update will work in your favor.  

Key Features and Benefits of the Update 

• Enhanced Flexibility  

• The increase from 7 to 20 characters for invoicing allows companies to include additional information, such as project codes, specific job references, or customer identifiers. Not to mention, the character increase provides organizations with a better retrieval process while staying organized.  

• Improvements to Reporting and Tracking  

• Longer invoice numbers allow companies to implement a more sophisticated tracking approach, allowing businesses to gain detailed insights into their customers’ behavior and invoicing patterns. With better tracking, organizations can focus on providing next-level client services. 

• Detailed Customization 

• A detailed invoice number allows organizations to tailor their invoice numbering systems to better connect with internal requirements and processes. Including a more detailed invoice number reduces the likelihood of confusion and errors, ensuring invoices are processed accurately. 

• Seamless Integration and Growth 

• Include detailed invoice numbers across multiple modules, including Accounts Receivable, Sales Order, and Job Cost, to ensure consistency throughout the Sage 100 module. As the company continues to grow, invoicing can become more complex. An extended numbering system with scalability allows businesses to focus on internal growth. 

This exciting enhancement to invoicing addresses the evolving needs of businesses that use Sage 100. By providing improved tracking and reporting, detailed customizations, enhanced flexibility, and seamless integration opportunities, Sage is assisting in the growth of its users by improving overall efficiencies.
