When to use an Invoice Prefix

 FireMate prefix will assist you in knowing the difference between an invoice created in FireMate, and an invoice created directly into an accounting package (such as Xero, MYOB or Sage).

Use a FireMate invoice pre-fix to easily identify the invoices that have been created in FireMate, so you know where to go to see more details if you have any questions.     

Choosing an Invoice Prefix  

Choose a simple invoice prefix that you would like to display at the beginning of all invoices.

We recommend using "FM" as an invoice pre-fix for all methods of exporting invoices from FireMate.
