We have different prefixes for each of our customers. Let’s say one has xy001 and the next xy002 and so forth. Is there a way to set this up in Hubsopt Invoices? As far as I can see I can only change the prefix for **every** invoice - am I wrong?

Hello @CScholz, thank you for posting in our Community!

Currently, HubSpot Invoices allows you to set a single[invoice](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/invoices/create-invoices)prefix, but it does not support unique prefixes for each customer by default. However, you can manually adjust the prefix when creating each invoice.

To our top experts, @TomM2 and @RSchweighart do you have any recommendations for @CScholz matter?

Thank you,

Pam

Hi Pam,

Thank you for clarifying. That workaround also came to mind and - altough not optimal - gives us an option for now.

Thanks again and have a nice day!

Hi @PamCotton, I don’t have a great suggestion for @CScholz.

The quickest solution to get this information on the invoice may be to create a prefix company property. Then, create a snippet saying something like “Company Code: {{company.invoice\_prefix}}”

 ![RSchweighart_0-1739407006898.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/b/db9301f54a4636c7b39cd1dee70e6d4d1e54ea2e.jpeg)

Then, you can use this snippet when creating an invoice.

I tried a few ways leveraging workflows and APIs. I could get the name to update in HubSpot, but it won’t overwrite the auto-numbering done by HubSpot.

I know this isn’t the desired solution but it’s a way to get the information on the invoice, if it’s needed.

All the Best,

Hey @CScholz, just in case it helps, I think your use case is very similar to an idea I just posted: [Support Multiple Invoice Prefixes with Independent Numbering Sequences](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Support-Multiple-Invoice-Prefixes-with-Independent-Numbering/idi-p/1160506)

It suggests allowing different prefixes with independent counters, so each customer or service line could have its own sequence.  
Might be worth an upvote if it’s helpful to you too!
