Wrong Invoice Number - ends with 01

[sprachrohr]

Hi,

is there a bug in creating invoice numbers?

I'm using VM 3.8.2 an Joomla 3.9.18. Invoice numbers are created correct, if i update the order satus from the orders list view.
When i update the order status from the order details view, i allways get an invoice number ending with 01.

Is this a bug? Did i miss something? Can anyone confirm?

Thanks for your help!
Best regards

Invoice numbers are created correct,

What does this mean ? Order number is not the same as invoice number.

When i update the order status from the order details view, i allways get an invoice number ending with 01

Invoice should only be created one time right ? This means same invoive number or a, am I wrong ?

Are You using any plugin for the order and invoise numbers ?

if u keep flipping between the status set for invoice creation a new invoice is created

If u go C -> P > C etc  - is this what u mean?

Hi,

thanks for your answers. No, i dont use any Plugin.

Ok, let me explain again. I'm not talking of order numbers. I mean invoice numbers.

My Invoices are created on satus shipped. There are two views where an status might be changed. Order details view and orders list view.

For example:
My last invoice number ends with: 21 --> expected behavior for the next invoice number is ending with 22.
If i change order status from orders list view, then my next invoice would end with 22.
BUT: If i change the status in order details view, then it would end with 01.

I can see this behavior on every generated invoice. If i do it in list view, numbers are correct. If i do it in details view, number is not correct (01). It doesn't depend on flipping between status.

Best regards

Here is a screenshot of my invoice numbers... the invoice ending with 01 was created from details view. all others were created in list view.

I don't get this effect

in the screenshot  the top one was created in the detail view, the bottom one in the orders view .. the last 2 digits are consecutive

Thank you very much, but now i'm confused.
I hoped someone else has this problem too.

could it be, that you create a replacing invoice? You can also use the german forum btw, makes it maybe easier. forum.virtuemart.de

Hi Milbo,

thanks for your answer.

This happens for new invoices and replacing invoices as well.

Some days ago i wanted to delete all testorders. For that, i deleted all invoices stored in database (cleared table virtuemart_invoices). After that i deleted all orders in backend. Might this be my problem?

next time i will use the german forum

Has nobody an idea anymore? I would be very grateful!

I just figured out, that this behavior even exists on a blank new installation.
Nobody else has this problem?

Hi,

i just did a fresh install again on MAMP. This time i used sample data. Same behavior.

Here is what i've done.
I installed joomla 3.9.18. Then i installed VM 3.8.2.10325_package. Then i installed sample data. In configuration i have set the safe-path. Then i made a new menu entry pointing to a vm category.

Nothing else!

I did three orders of the same product.

I changed order status for the first two orders to confirmed in detail-view. Both invoices end with 01.
The third order i changed the status to confirmed in orders list view. Invoice ends with 03.
Screenshot attached!

This was a absolute clean install. No configuration by myselfe.

Could someone else please do the same thing?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you Sprachrohr.

I was able to reproduce the problem and I also found the reason and wrote the fix

Open the invoice model and go to line 197 in function createStoreNewInvoiceNumberById replace the existing

Code Select Expand


} else if(empty($orderDetails['virtuemart_order_id'])){


against

Code Select Expand


} else if(empty($orderDetails['virtuemart_order_id']) or empty($orderDetails['virtuemart_vendor_id'])){

That solves the problem without touching the form

Thank you Milbo... the fix works for me too!

I nearly thought I was too stupid...

You will merge it in the next release?

Again... thank you and best regards!

[Milbo]

Of course, already merged. :-) Thanks for keep posting
