I want Invoice Number to appear, but not automatically

Hey @marcel12345678,

The way we would make this automatic is by writing a code snippet in which the condition for displaying the Invoice Number is dependent on the information saved in the WooCommerce order information that indicates that the customer is special. So in this case, the condition is that payment method = bank transfer..?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by “exact number”?

Sorry, not exactly.
I want the plugin for making invoice, for generate them, but I want to select by miself the invoice number.
It seems that by default the plugin will detect the new invoice and it will say okay, your number is “x”. But I want to be the one who choose that.

I know plugin number can be editable, but I can mistake with all the numbers.

I Hope I explained better

Hey @marcel12345678,

If you want to choose yourself, that is also be possible. For starters, to disable the automatic generation of invoices, you just have to make sure that NONE of the options under “Attach To” are selected in PDF Invoices > Documents.

In the same tab, scroll down until you see “Next invoice number (without prefix/suffix etc.)“.

This is where you’ll have to input the new number before clicking the button to manually generate the next invoice & thus its invoice number either in the “Orders” page or the “Edit-Order” page.

Hi,
I don’t have any attached on the emails, so that step it’s good.
For the next step, I understand that if I put “85” the next invoice that I manually select will be 85, but what happens if someone buy a product? It will take the next number, right? I want to disable that function because I prefer to select by myself the correct number (maybe I have 2 bank transfers today and a payment by credit card tomorrow, credit card will take the number one, when it is supposed to be number 3)

Thanks

Hello Marcel,
You can assign any number you like when creating the invoice in the backend, just click ‘set invoice number & date”, then you can enter both:

Click save and now when you open the PDF it will have the number you entered.

Hi Ewout,
Yes, but when someone buy a product it gets automatically one number. I can remove it that automatization?
Thanks,

Hi @marcel12345678,

Yes, you can. As my colleague @dpeyou said above, you need to uncheck all the WooCommerce email notifications under WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Documents > Invoice, to avoid generate the invoice automatically, except Customer invoice / Order details (Manual email), if later you want to send the invoice to your customers manually:

Then, you can generate the invoices manually, which will automatically take the following number based on the numbering system you have selected in the plugin settings and the next invoice number (WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Documents > Invoice Display invoice number / Next invoice number settings), but since your customer will not receive the invoice automatically, you’ll be able to change the invoice number manually. After that, you can send the invoice to your customer using the Customer Invoice / Order Details (manual email):

Hope it makes sense! ??

Hi,
Oh okay, I just seen now. I think yes it’s working properly ??
