Same invoice number for a supplier after purging invoices?

Will I be able to enter the same invoice num(to the same supplier) after purging invoices using Payables purge seeded program since the record is now deleted from all base tables or is the history maintained somewhere which would still stop us from entering the same old invoice num again?

One of the supplier recycled their invoices that are 8 years old and we would start receiving the same invoice numbers from the supplier. Will purging payables for invoices that are 8 years old help resolve this issue? Or prefix/suffix the new invoices is the only option?

Thank you.
