invoice_year after year change

The [invoice_year] shortcode uses the year of the invoice date.
Can you check the invoice date of those 2016 orders? The invoice date is not tied to the order date, so when you create an invoice today for an order from 2016, it will use todays date.
Let me know what you find!

What’s the invoice date on the order with ‘00027/2017’?

I have just checked this and all my 2016 invoices still have the 2016 prefix, so I think this is an issue with the invoice date rather than the placeholder.

okay i think i get it.
i cant press

i need open order and i need press this

it’s wast of time i much easier would be if i could get it work with what i show on 1st image

Images are not showing here but I followed the link.

Completes the order and should definitely work.

If google translate serves me right, is Save order. But that doesn’t do anything different.

Can you confirm that the invoice date was indeed 2017 on those older orders?

how i can confirm ?
but yea i’m sure it changed when year changed

here is image

there is no way i confirmed it 2017 i pressed next day this:

but it seems not working
but i made also 1 test

when i opened 1 order and changed year to 2016 and pressed save order then it was 2016 when i opened orders.

it’s seems working when i open order and pressing save order

Hi! To confirm, you need to go into the order itself, then under ‘PDF invoice data’ you will see an invoice date. This is not the same as the order date, it is set to the first moment you create the invoice. This means that if you create an invoice in 2017 for an order that was placed in 2016, the invoice date will be 2017. I think this is what’s happening here.
If you want to show the order year, you have to use [order_year] instead of [invoice_year], although this will not affect the invoice date itself.

sorry for late respond, but i was busy.

so these are settings what i use

some words translated to English:
üldandmed – general information
tellimuse kuupev – order date
tellimuse olek t?idetud – order status completed

PDF arve andmed – pdf invoice information
Arve – Invoice
Arve kuup?ev – Invoice date
image:
order is 5 moth old and i complete it 2016.

but invoice date keep changing too current time but it say its completed
there is also this symbol

Hi!
That makes sense. As I explained before, the invoice date will be created at the moment you create the invoice. If you create the invoice for an order from 2016-09-03 (=order date) on 2017-02-12 (=invoice date), the invoice date will be 2017-02-12. After that, the invoice date doesn’t change anymore. So if you had created the invoice in 2016, it would have kept the 2016 date. This is not dependent on whether the order is completed or not!
