Invoice Number Prefix

[Guest]

I am looking to add a prefix to the invoice number but am not sure of the code necessary to accomplish this. I presume, for consistency I would have to do likewise to the Packing Slip. How and where would I code this in invoice.php so the font would show up as follows:

 

Invoice Number:[red]40423-[/red]12345(being the db generated invoice number!

 

Thanks you for your help.

you can find the special contribution which will enable the prefix to the invoice number.

Unfortunately those contributions have a "floating prefix" The way our accounting works is with a static prefix based on series to differentiate departments and groups. What I need to do is actually have the Prefix in the text portion of the invoice followed by the ascending number delivered from the db.

Thanks for the try though!

If this the the invoice.php code I suspect this is where the db deposits the invoice number

 $orders_query = tep_db_query("select orders_id from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " where orders_id = '" . (int)$oID . "'");

 include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'order.php');
 $order = new order($oID);

 

If that is the case, then how do I go about inserting a fixed prefix in red just before the db generated invoice number?

The actual invoice number is not shown on a standard invoice. If your invoices do show the number then they have been amended by you (or someone else).

 

<p>Invoice Number: <font color="red">40423-</font><?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['oID']; ?></p>
