Hello,

Is there a way to allow the customer to access the invoice and packing slip that I see in the admin from their account?

The "exact same" as you see in the admin is not available to the customer, at least not as part of the built-in features. Instead it gives the customer a complete summary of their order exactly as they saw it in the order-confirmation screen when they placed the order.

If you want something else for them to see, you can of course write custom code for that or experiment with a plugin like PDF Invoice etc.

Is this "want" simply because someone has asked you for a "formal-looking invoice"? Or is there some business-related problem with what the customers can see in their complete account history?

Thank you for the answer. I wanted to modify the code for formal Invoicing purpose, I already use the PDF Invoice for clients to use for paying purpose (bank transfer).
I need the formal Invoice to have a diferent number than the order as I only give a formal Invoice to the customers that pay for the order and I have some customers that do not pay so I cancel those orders.

I see.
Zen Cart assumes that customers are paying for the things they purchase.
Assigning completely different order numbers based on other criteria will require a notable amount of custom coding. You're welcome to do whatever suits your needs of course!
