Not working anymore with WCFM 6.5.6 and Woocommerce 4.9.2

I have a similar problem with the Field above prefix. I can change the Number format with [invoice_year] in the prefix. That wil also save and when I refresh the code is still there, but the next invoicenumber field is not saved in our installation.
I can edit it (after clicking on the pencil), then save it and that seems to be OK, but when I save the whole page (at the bottom of the page) and refresh, there is nothing in the next invoicenumber box.
And no invoicenumber is automated in the order. I can change the ordernumber by hand and everything works fine after that.
I use also Woocommerce 4.9.2 but no WCFM. The WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips is version 2.7.4.

Is this the same issue or do I need to make a different post?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ronrods and @roeller

Our plugin is not compatible with WCFM, only Dokan + Dokan Invoice. WCFM uses it’s own version of PDF templates and custom integration, and we cannot control this from our end, so you should contact WCFM support about this.

@ronrods since you don’t use WCFM, I would indeed recommend opening a new topic instead, its unrelated to the issue above (which is about WCFM specifically).

Hi @alexmigf , maybe you should have a chat with the WCFM guys. On their website they state that Woocommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips is supported. They also refer to it from their Docs and their forum. (and looking at the code and options they spend quite some time in it)

But you say that WCFM isn’t supported..
That’s why having a chat with them might be a good idea.

@roeller we have tried various times to reach out to them to get their integrations to a better level but unfortunately this has not lead to anything. Their templates have been coded in a way that is not very flexible and has lead to various issues.

So while the statement that WCFM is not compatible is not entirely accurate, we do not provide active support for it either because the basis for that would be a good cooperation (and better quality code).
The page that you are referring to (WCFM-> SETTINGS -> INVOICE) is not controlled by our plugin.

I would like to let you know that my problem with saving the invoice number has been solved. I don’t know what it was, but when I made a duplicate of the complete website it was not a problem anymore.
So I got my nerves together and deleted the entire live site, and duplicated the test environment to my live site and after that it worked just fine.
So thanks, and I won’t make another topic for my (not anymore) problem.

Kind regards.

Thanks @pomegranate

I already checked the WCFM code and saw it is a thing in updating the meta values which they do themselves via an update_meta command but the data never reaches that command.

I completely agree with you that a good cooperation is the basis for a good integration.

I made a topic in their forum, I’ll update you here once it’s solved or I have an update.

@pomegranate Since WCFM is not supported for WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips. I assume that WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips Professional is also not supported?

I am currently in doubt of buying the Professional just for the Credit Invoice. However, WCFM doesn’t support it.
Would I be able to just hook WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips Professional on a refund action so it automatically created the Credit invoice?
I looked at the screenshots this Forum but I am not sure and I want to know before buying your product / spending money on it.

(I know that the next issue for me will probably be the credit-invoice-numbering but I assume you have Apply_Filters for that? So I can just create add a filter that looks up the Vendor ID and his numbering format, maybe create some logic or DB table for this)
