How To Manage Booking Order Numbers

What this does

This guide explains the Order Numbers settings page in Booking.

Use this page to control the prefix, suffix, and starting value used for new booking numbers.

Before you start

• Only new bookings are affected by the starting value.
• Existing booking numbers are not reduced or renumbered by changing this page.

Steps

1. Open Booking.
2. Go to Settings > Order Numbers.
3. Review the Booking number format card.
4. Enter a Prefix if you want one.
5. Enter a Suffix if you want one.
6. Enter the Start at value for new booking numbers.
7. Review the live Preview.
8. Click Save Order Numbers.

Why this matters in the suite

Booking numbers often show up in customer communication, internal coordination, and downstream billing references.

Keeping the numbering pattern intentional makes the workflow easier to follow across the suite.

Common mistakes

• Expecting Start at to renumber older bookings.
• Adding complicated prefixes or suffixes without checking how they will read in real workflows.

What to do next

After saving, create a new booking and confirm the next number follows the expected format.
