Renumber existing documents not working

Hi @ramshengale,

Thanks for reporting this. We will be performing some testings to try to reproduce it and, if we found an issue, we will work on a fix as soon as possible.

I will keep you posted!

Hi @ramshengale,

We have fixed this issue within our development environment, and should be available publicly next week.

That said, I have prepared a beta release for you, so you can get the fix in advance and be able to use it earlier: https://we.tl/t-1Oa6Ou30Ix

When are you going to publish the update? I was not able to download earlier. Can you share the latest file again? Or it’ll be better if you directly push the new update.

Thanks

Hi @ramshengale

Please download here: https://github.com/wpovernight/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/releases/tag/v3.8.0-beta-3

Thanks for this. I tested the plugin. The renumbering is happening but not as per invoice date. It’s following some other ordering.

I have tested now and seems to be working fine for me. We use the order date_created, you can check that here.

Did you reset the next number following the instructions on the tool?

It needs to use the _wcpdf_invoice_date or _wcpdf_invoice_date_formatted meta for sorting. That’s because the order can be created first but the payment may get processed after sometime (due to late payment or other reasons) and new orders can get created in-between.

_wcpdf_invoice_date or _wcpdf_invoice_date_formatted will give us true sequence of invoice numbers.

I have opened a PR to address your situation here. When it gets released you can use the code snippet from there.

I was able to achieve my goal by replacing your $args with this:

$args = array(
'return' => 'ids',
'type' => 'shop_order',
'limit' => -1,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'meta_value',
'meta_key' => '_wcpdf_invoice_date',
'paginate' => true,
'posts_per_page' => 250,
'page' => $page_count,
'date_paid' => $from_date . '…' . $to_date,
);

All good now.

Your modification will disappear when you update the plugin, in any case we are including a new selector for the date type in the next plugin release.

Yeah, tthat’s fine. This was anyways a one-time thing.

Thanks for your help. We can close this ticket now.
