Can I fill in an invoice number with PayPro myself so that it runs parallel with other invoices in my bookkeeping?

No, unfortunately that's not possible. We automatically create (consecutive) invoice numbers for you. 

We do this to prevent a gap in the numbering, and that therefore your accounting within PayPro will not work anymore. 

But how do I combine these with the invoices I don't send from PayPro?

As a company, your invoices have to meet a number of tax requirements. One of these requirements is that your invoices are numbered in order.

The reason for this is that during a tax check you can clearly show which invoices you have created and processed. This way, there can be no gap in your bookkeeping. 

In case you already have a series of invoices in progress and PayPro cannot be added to them, we can suggest you this easy solution:

PayPro creates its own series for you with the invoices that are made from PayPro. At the end of the month you will have 2 series. One set of your "own" bookkeeping and one set from PayPro. 

In this way you officially keep 2 accounts regarding invoices. You can now just as well show your invoices in a series at an inspection, only in this case you work with 2 series. Is that allowed? Yes, it is completely legal!
