JayO Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hello Really hope someone could assist in this regard... As you might be aware, currently the invoice number reflects as the reference number by default, right? Is there a way to change this ? Not simply to the options offered there, but a unique ID. Reason being, from experience, clients will use the existing invoice number as reference and continue to use the same number for all future transactions. This is only applicable to clients paying via EFT, off course. I have tried to add a custom field "Client ID" and it reflects on the invoice, although this is done manually and will not reflect on the initial invoice. Hope this makes sense. Appreciate your feedback JayO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 if you were manually editing an existing invoice, you could give it a custom invoice number by editing the field on the invoice page in the admin area... 2 hours ago, JayO said: I have tried to add a custom field "Client ID" and it reflects on the invoice, although this is done manually and will not reflect on the initial invoice. neither will be above method, but its useful if you need to edit existing invoices to give them custom numbers. to give new invoices a custom number, you could tweak the action hook that I posted in the thread below.... as you can see, that adds a custom number in the format "US+(original invoice number)", but you could tweak it to any format you need... it doesn't replace the internal reference (e.g the real invoice id), but with this change, the user should never see that ID, just your custom version if it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
