GST e invoicing running serial no break

We prepare Export Invoice manually on MS word file and at month end, IT Dept  makes transition to e-invoicing portal, where it is system generated Invoice running serial nos. At times, last moments a particular shipment is rescheduled but we can not change Sr no in Manual system. But GST portal requires continuity and no break in Chain. How to fix it as we are not fully system driven company.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the challenge of maintaining serial number continuity for manual export invoices within the GST e-invoicing system. The user prepares invoices manually and transitions them to the e-invoicing portal at month-end, where system-generated serial numbers are used. Rescheduling shipments can cause breaks in the manual sequence, which conflicts with the GST portal's requirement for an unbroken chain. The user seeks guidance on how to resolve this, including the possibility of creating and cancelling dummy invoices to maintain numerical synchronisation.

How can the automated invoicing software issue prints which are not serially numbered.

I.e why asking whether we can make a dummy invoice in portal and then cancel it. Here, there will be no break in Chain and numbers as per Manual Invoicing system will be in sync with Portal auto generated numbers. Please guide.
