Which country is that?

  It’s definitely true in Holland. The only resolution you’re allowed to shard by is yearly, so 2019-1, 2019-2,.. , 2020-1. Or just all out increment forever. I assume it makes it harder to hide invoices during an audit.

    How do companies with hundreds of sales points deal with that? Is a centralized invoicing system required by law? I find it hard to believe that multiple numbering sequences are not allowed.

      I'm pretty sure the grandparent is wrong. You are allowed to have multiple sequences, for example one per store. Maybe even one per client.

Translation: "a sequential number." Exceptions are explicitly and exhaustively listed here: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/belastingdienst/zakelijk/btw/administratie_bijhouden/facturen_maken/factuureisen/aangepaste_regels_facturen/aangepaste_regels_voor_facturen https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/... , e.g. the requirements for <€100 are relaxed and don't include the number. Note also that this is not for B2C receipts; this is for B2B invoices. I'll admit the Dutch IRS site is lacking in info. I remember this information from reading the IRS handbook (ugh) back when I was a sole trader there, and extensive conversations with my accountant on the matter. However, I would bet good money that a separate invoice category per client is not OK. Very interested to be proven wrong.

  Denmark as well. It is so audit can see that there is an item missing between item #54 and #56. It's not bullet proof, but it does help auditors.
