Nope. It don't work like that.
When you specify an Identity is becomes a field which is controlled by the database system and is unique for the whole of that table.

You cannot have two identical Identity values; It would be like having two identical serial numbers on banknotes: Things start to go very wrong very quickly when people notice!

If you need sequential numbers in your billing form, you will have to create them yourself for each row.
