It'd be nice to have the email and print features within the main invoice module, and I don't see why this needs to be separate. The current way the other module grabs data is not ideal, and probably should be merged in as displays on the view for this module.

If there isn't any opposition, I'll start working to bring these features to this module as it will help end users looking for a turn-key invoice module for commerce.

Hi japerry,

I have absolutely no issue with bringing more features to Commerce Invoice, and getting some help for the module. The only thing I'll ask you is to create some separate modules (which will be integrated in Commerce Invoice as "submodules") which could be called "Commerce Invoice Email" or "Commerce Invoice Print". I just want to make sure that the main "Commerce Invoice" module JUST creates an entity and generates an invoice number.

Otherwise, no problem adding more features :-)

Hi! You doing a great job here, but can I ask, how can I get invoice, or receipt, looking like the order, I have to have a subtotal, tax, and total in an invoice.
Having the print and e-mail button on an invoice, or invoice receipt it would be great, olso if I can sugest, status like paid or unpaid. It is a matter of accounting after tne invoice is issued....

Thank you in advance....

Try to update commerce invoice to the latest dev version, you should get just that, with the invoice looking as the order, simply with the invoice number added to it... Let me know if this is what you expect...

Thanx guillaumev!
I've get my invoice looking like order... Can you tell me about another issue, my invoice must look like the pgoto I've attached here. Blue colort indicate the color that could be hardcoded, (the text that doesn't change), but canImake something with the rest, aspecialy, I should make it possible to print and send to mail, say to the accountant, or myself ... When I try to print from the browser, it prints out the whole page pf course. Since I have a page heade, footer, and user menu, I have to isolate and print only invoice... I hate to bother you so much, but in the module, i don't see a .tpl page, or .css, and in the views, i have only listing of invoices, no full invoice view, so I can add header and footer fo the invoice...
I hope that I explane it good, 'coz my English is not the best , but you can see how the invoice should look taken out from the page, that is what I've should print or sent on mail. It would be great if I could send i like pdf attachment, but not mandatory....
Thank you i advance for your time and advice...

Hi TomNet,

You can easily send the invoice by email using HTML Mail, but if you want a fully clean invoice, I would suggest you to look at the Views PDF module (http://drupal.org/project/views_pdf): the idea for you would be to create a PDF version of the invoice which you can customize and then send by email or print...

I hope this helps...

Hi guillaumev!
Thax again for helping me, I hope I'm not taking too much of yout rime... thank you for the advice with pdf invoice..I was looked into it, but I found this http://drupal.org/project/commerce_pdf_invoice , this module make me a view as PDF page, but can you give me some pointers on how to show invoice, that you suggested and that works great, except layout that it should look like in a photo in my previous reply to you, how can I get actual invoice in PDF, throo this module? I've even try to add a PDF page view, in an invoice, but except lots of errors, I didn't get anything usable, for printing and mailing...
Thank you in advance one more time...

The main feature of commerce_invoice is the handling with invoice numbers. There are some judicial to deal with such numbers e.g in germany and also some business needs I want to fit: See #1728106: Discuss the strategy for future invoice number handling: stability, flexibility and interface.
As I understand modules like commerce_pdf_invoice or commerce_invoice_receipt are just providing invoice views and mailing. This things can easily be done with modules like views.pdf or rules itself. So I see nothing what we can merge. If somebody know something and share this with us this issue can be reopened.
