Important Notes
- It is assumed that you are running the Enterprise Cloud Sync Server in your private network or subnet.
- In the Single User Edition, when you create a new invoice, it will generate a new invoice number by simply incrementing the previous invoice number used on the device. If someone else is using a client app on another device at the same time, you could potentially have invoices with the same invoice numbers. No data will be lost as the system keeps track of invoices internally using invoice IDs. You will however need to reassign the invoice numbers after a Sync. You can also consider using our 5 Users Edition if you have multiple users running the Invoice 360 Client apps at the same time.

User Mode of Invoice 360 Enterprise Cloud Sync Server
Invoice 360 Enterprise Cloud Sync Server supports a configurable option in the menu known as User Mode. This option specifies how an Invoice (or Quote/Estimate) number will be assigned when using the Invoice 360 Client app with multiple devices. The User Mode should be specified once and not changed throughout the lifetime of the invoicing cycle.
The following user modes are supported:
- Single User
- Multi User - Centralized
- Multi User – Distributed
Single User
For Single User, the invoice (or quote/estimate) number will simply be incremented from the last number used on a particular device. For example, if you started using Invoice 360 Client app on your Desktop PC in your office. Your first invoice will be assigned the number 1. Your second invoice will be assigned the number 2, automatically incremented from the previous invoice number on your device.
Next, you plan to bring your Windows tablet to your customer or event site for invoicing purpose. Before you set off, you set up Invoice 360 Client app on the tablet and perform a Sync to load the latest data into the app. When you invoice your customer, the invoice number 3 will automatically be used. This is because the tablet contains the data from your Desktop PC and the app knows that the previous invoice number is 2. In other words, for Single User, simply perform a Sync on your device before bringing it out of your office.
Please also be assured that Invoice 360 Enterprise Cloud Sync uses an internal ID and allows different invoices to have the same invoice number. If you forget to perform a sync, and ends up with duplicate invoice number, you can easily resolve the issue by changing the invoice numbers without losing any data.
Multi User – Centralized
The first thing you will notice when using Multi User mode, is the user name (of the device) will be automatically recorded when creating invoices, quotes and estimates. This helps you identify and differentiate the documents created by different users.
For Multi User, you can choose between Centralized and Distributed mode as the User Mode. The Centralized mode is easy to understand. You have different users using different devices to invoice the customer. Each time a new invoice is created, the Invoice 360 Client app goes to the server to request for a new invoice number. You invoice number will be based on a sequence number tracked by the server.
If you are out of office and do not have a connection to the Enterprise Cloud Sync Server, a new invoice (or quote/estimate) will be automatically assigned a number 0. The invoice will still be created and you can still perform almost all the different functions on an invoice. When you go back to office, you can then go to the History screen to assign ("Assign Number" button) an invoice number from the Enterprise Cloud Sync Server. The "Assign Number" function simply calls the server to get the next available number. At any time, you can also choose to manually change the invoice number so as to issue the invoice to the customer immediately.
This User Mode is especially suited if all or most of your client apps are located in your office where the Enterprise Cloud Sync Server is located. And occasionally, you have a sales person who need to invoice a customer on a device outside the office.
Multi User – Distributed
For Multi User, you can also choose to use the Distributed mode. This User Mode is slightly more complex (not rocket science though) and arises from the huge demand from our early testers/customers. This mode can be easily understood through the following examples.
If you have 2 users of the Client app, their invoice number will be assigned as follow:
- User 1 Invoice Number: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ...
- User 2 Invoice Number: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...
- User 1 Invoice Number: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...
- User 2 Invoice Number: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ...
- User 3 Invoice Number: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ...
This User Mode is especially suited if all or most of Invoice 360 Client app users are not located in your office and will be invoicing customers without connecting to the Enterprise Cloud Sync Server.
To properly use the Multi User – Distributed mode, you can follow the steps below:
1. Set Invoice 360 Enterprise Cloud Sync Server to Multi User - Distributed Mode before you bootstrap any of the Client apps.
2. Launch the Invoice 360 Client app, go to the Settings screen and change the Increment Number to your number of users. For example, if you have 3 sales person using the Client app, change the Increment Number to 3. This number can be changed when your number of sales person changes.
3. Each sales person can then be notified of their invoice number sequence. For example,
- User 1 Invoice Number: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, ...
- User 2 Invoice Number: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ...
- User 3 Invoice Number: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ...
5. After the first invoice, the invoice numbers will be automatically incremented based on the last invoice the user created.
- User 1 second invoice will be assigned the number 4 (incremented by 3 from 1).
- User 2 second invoice will be assigned the number 5 (incremented by 3 from 2).
- User 3 second invoice will be assigned the number 6 (incremented by 3 from 3).
