invoice number

[achraf]

Hi all :
on my shop runing on 1.38 everything is going well butnow i have a small problem reguarding invoices . My fiscal conultent asked to to change the invoices number because of italian law ... on invoices here it must be relative as a year .. for example order 1 on 2009 must be 1/2009 or 1-2009 or 1.2009 or 1(2009) . for now i remake alla invoices manually but it might be a way to change the counter and rest it every year ? so how to make to invoice numer different from order number. or how to make another counter for invoices that don't depend on order number .

Thank you all any help is very apreciated ..

It's easy to modify the order number shown on the invoice so that it includes the year of the order.
For example, if you have order number xyz, ordered in 2008 and want to display it on the invoice as Invoice No. xyz-2008 you can edit the file admin/invoices.php...
find this line of code at about line 141:

    <td class="main"><b><?php echo ENTRY_ORDER_ID . $oID; ?></b></td>

and replace it with this:

    <td class="main"><b><?php echo ENTRY_ORDER_ID . $oID . '-' . date(Y,strtotime($order->info['date_purchased'])) ; ?></b></td>

Then all your invoice numbers will include the year of the order, without ever having to update anything manually.
