Overview

Under Settings β†’ Number ranges you configure how your documents are numbered, which tax rate applies and what payment terms appear on invoices.


Number ranges

Meistify assigns sequential numbers for three document types:

  1. Quote numbers – e.g. KVA-2026-001
  2. Order numbers – e.g. A-2026-001
  3. Invoice numbers – e.g. RG-2026-001

Customising the format

For each number range you can set:

  • Prefix – e.g. "RG-" or "INV-"
  • Year – Whether the year should be included (2026)
  • Starting number – From which number to start counting

Invoice numbers must be sequential and without gaps for legal compliance. Only change the format at the start of the year or before your first invoice.


Tax rates

Configure your default tax rates:

  • Country – Germany, Austria or Switzerland
  • Standard VAT – e.g. 19% (DE), 20% (AT), 8.1% (CH)
  • Reduced rate – e.g. 7% (DE)

The standard tax rate is automatically applied to new items in quotes and invoices.


Payment terms

The default payment terms (e.g. 14 days) are applied to all new invoices. You can adjust them individually per invoice.


Currency

Currently Meistify supports Euro (€) as the default currency. Multi-currency support (CHF, GBP, etc.) is planned for a future release.
