This module looks very useful - but I'm not quite sure how I should go about using it once it's installed. Can you give me a simple outline of how to use it?

Hi patrick,

This module creates an invoice entity which allows you to generate sequential invoice numbers. Once you have the module activated, you can go to the configuration page (admin/commerce/config/invoice) and configure the way invoice numbers shall be generated.

If you go into rules (admin/config/workflow/rules) you will see that a rule has been added to generate an invoice number each time an order status is set to "finished".

Finally, if you go into views, you will see that a new view, called Commerce Invoice, capable of displaying an invoice to a customer, has been created.

To sum up, this module was created because of the need to have an invoice number generated sequentially which is different from the order number. The module generates a new invoice number, based on the rule chosen in the configuration, each time an order status is set to "Finished" and provides a Commerce Invoice view to display the invoice to the customer.

And where do you view the invoice once an order has been marked as completed?

Like Tigeda, I'm looking for the created invoices.

Hi,

You can view the invoice at http://urltoyoursite.com/commerce/invoice/% where % is the invoice id (the corresponding view is called "Commerce Invoice"). You will need to add by yourself, however, a link to the invoice in the view containing your orders list...
