Hello,

When an order is complete and paid, is there a way for the eshop to use a custom invoice number and increment automatically from there? for example, first invoice# to be eSHOP00001

Also, in the Email Message Admin, when editing "Email Headers / Footers", there is only one textbox. Is this used for the header or the footer? Shouldn't it be two textboxes?

And finally, when an order is complete, does the eshop send the paid invoice automatically to the buyer's email?

Thanking you in advance
Best regards,
Harry

Hi Harry
There isn't anything apart from the numeric order ID and you can set the invoice number manually. But it's a good idea and I just did something similar for another customer where you can now set the product images in the image manager by clicking <Ctrl>+[Down Arrow] and one is added to the last number in the previous image filename. I could do something like that for the invoice numbers but could you maybe post in the suggestions forum to remind me when I have some free time?

Hello Vince,
Regarding the invoice number, i completed a couple of test orders and i see the order id:501, 502 etc...up to 505.
Is this possible to change it to W0001 and auto-increment? The customer wishes to use this format as the Invoice number.

Also, would it be possible to have it W0001/25 (where 25 is added automatically as the year?) It makes it a lot easier for accounting purposes to have the year at the end of the invoice number

Looking forward to hearing from you

Best regards,
Harry

Hi Harry

One for the suggestions forum. No harm posting there to see what response it attracts IMHO

A client asked me about this a few years ago & wondered if the invoice numbering could start with upto three alpha characters, invoice number ending in a two digit year identifier to complete the numbering - eg: GLW5023825

I'm pretty sure this could be a feature that many store owners would welcome.

I've added the code now to increment the invoice number in the status column of the admin orders page and I hope it will help, but . . .
There is a difference between the invoice number and the order id. The order id is just a unique number to identify the record in the database and that can't be changed. But now with the changes if the first invoice number is, as in 1818charlie's example, "GLW5023825", then pressing the down arrow with the <Ctrl>+<Shift> keys will increment the invoice number in the next record by one so you get "GLW5023826".
It will just increment the last number found so if you have for example...
2025/12345XYZ
...you will get
2025/12346XYZ
Will this help at all? The changes are in the incorders.asp/php file of the v7.8 updater now.
