How to import a single invoice or range of invoices with sequential invoice numbers

This example assumes the full invoice(s) have not been imported into Sage.

In this example I want to import invoice number 500 which was not imported into Sage during an earlier import.


  • Log into the Sage Import program and select “Edit” then “Preferences” then “IDS Settings”

  • Note the “Last IDS Invoice Number”.  In the above screen this is invoice 1000. 
  • Change the “Last IDS Invoice Number” to 499.  This is the invoice number one before the invoice number to be imported.
  • Click “Close Settings” to return to the main import screen.
  • Click “Get Invoices From IDS”.  This will initiate the import of invoice 500 into Sage.
  • Be PATIENT. It can take a while for the import to be completed.
  • When the import is completed log into the Import program again and change the “Last IDS Invoice Number” back to 1000.
