You can’t change the standard invoice numbering format.
so there is no place in the code to replace the number of places so that the first number becomes the last one to switch to each of the following invoice?
You can do this with a custom field and a personalized template of the invoice
You can also edit the automatically assigned invoice numbers to be anything you want.
Many users also use a year-based scheme, taking advantage of Manager’s automatic approach. The first invoices for 2017 is numbered 201700001 (leaving enough zeros to accommodate however many invoices you are likely to have. The next will automatically be 20170002, then 20170003, etc. The first invoice of 2018 is edited to be 20180001 and no further edits are required for the year.

i have in my business book format 1-1-2,2-1-2, 3-1-2 … 10-1-2 so i manually changing every invoice in that format …so is it and how possible to do automatic ?
@Brucanna already told you it is not possible to change the standard, automatic numbering format. What I told you is that you can edit the numbers that are automatically assigned to be anything you want. But why bother? Why not use the automatic numbers? They are so much less trouble.
in my business books and company registration I have the specified invoice format in that format! 1-1-2, 2-1-2, 3-1-2 … so it is complicated to ask for a change of format in the tax office, especially because retail cash accounts have a 1-1-1, 2-1- 1, 3-1-1, …, 57-1-1 so i can not have different formats for retail and wholesale!
Then edit your transactions manually. I suspect that after a few months of this you may decide it is worth the trouble to ask for a change of format. Honestly, I have never seen a numbering scheme like you describe in any accounting or bookkeeping situation.
last 17 year i use this invoice format but manager i use last 11 month so … if it become to complicate to manually change invoice format - or i will found solution in manager or change manager :slight_smile 
What do the second and third numbers in your format refer to?
Sometimes we have to adapt.
Thank you for this info. I also like having a precursor of the year number.
How could I use a customer’s code within the invoice no? And so when they have several invoices in the year, I can number those invoices to identify them easily for that customer.
Eg 2017003-2 being customer #3 and his #2 invoice.
Customer 4 should be 2017004-2 not 3-3 or 303 if - is a 0.
you can enter the invoice numbers manually.
Manager only follows one series for automatic numbering by adding 1 to the highest prior invoice number.
you can always search for the customer name in the sales invoices list to get all the invoices related to that customer alone.
As @sharpdrivetek already said, you can enter any format number you want manually, overriding the automatically assigned number. As a matter of possible interest, Manager ignores punctuation marks and letters in these numbers. So if you entered 2017003-2, the next invoice number assigned would be 20170033.
The value of customer codes within invoices is questionable, since the customer’s name is prominently displayed on the invoice and in all listings. And if you use customer codes in the program, those will be displayed, too, along with the customer name. Otherwise, you have to maintain a separate list of codes. Why bother?
