Adding a prefix to Invoice number

[desquinn]

I would like to be able to have invoice number that contains a prefix e.g. I would like to have HG0001 where HG means that it is a hosting invoice. I can then record this in my accounts system alongside other services with the HG invoice number as a clear reference.

 

Is this possible?

 

thanks

You can just add the "HG" into the templates in front of the invoice # and then it will show up in front of the invoice # the client sees.

Sorry to re-open an old ticket, but I have a related question. When WHMCS sends the transaction to our gateway (Authorize.net) the invoice # comes over as a straight numeric value, and the "description" field says our company name and the invoice # again. What that does is generate an email from Authorize.net confirming the transaction but without a crucial piece of info for us, the domain name that hosting was ordered for (or renewed).

 

The question is: how can we pass a variable through so that either:

 

- The invoice # is generated and a variable can be added either in front or behind it? (example: "Invoice # [number]-[Domain]" results in an invoice number of "Invoice # 123-xyz.com")

 

- Or, the 'description' field that gets passed to Authorize.net contains a variable for the domain so that it is easy to see at a glance who the order is for.

 

We do get the client information, however we have some clients with many domains hosted, so it can't be determined from the Authorize.net email which one it was for.

 

Thanks,

Would be good to auto prefix invoices, like how the sequential feature works but for all invoices not just for paid invoices. This should fix the gateway issue?
