Title: invoice with consecutive number
Post by: Silla on July 24, 2012, 21:40:52 PM
dear friends,
I'm working with joomla 2.5.6 and virtuemart 2.08e an e-commerce site for downloading digital files, I have already bought the plug-in ST42,
my problem is the numbering of the invoice, I need an invoice with consecutive numbers (0001 - 0002 - 0003 etc..).
do you know if the new release of virtuemart is scheduled with more control of the invoice?
can you recommend a plug-in that can do what I need? even paid
recommendations are also useful ...
thanks

I'll explain,
finance in Italy provides that invoices are with consecutive numbers
I'd like to reset the number of invoices,
and have another format, is now 1207197b4012 Bill, I need 0001, 0002, etc.., as change the format?
I watched several post on this site ...
if you can help me ...

Shame you didn't get a reply here - there are the same rules in Hungary for sequential numbering of invoices - I am looking at VM Invoice from Artio, but am not sure yet whether this will comply with local regulations though the company did tell me that it has sold to clients in Hungary - so it looks promising ...

Hello,

You could try search the forum a little bit. The last three digits are the order numbering of the invoice the rest is a zero and random chrs. So there is a prefix (so security also) and then is the ordering, you could use some php to printout a second order_id for your customers/invoices/etc or create custom field to save just the order_id ordering or you could create a plugin to handle this.

Please take a look over here (read them carefully to understand why is been used like this):
