I´m desperate trying to find this module. In the module description says "Invoice generation and email notifications", but I can´t find the way to enable this module. Where is it?

What I want to create transactions, send them to the customers so they can pay later. Is this possible with the 6.x version o E-Commerce?

Any help will be useful.

Thanks!

This feature is not currently in e-Commerce. However it will be there for 4.1

With 4.0 I will have a unified checkout process so it doesn't matter how the transaction is going to be created by default it will work though the checkout.

I will be converting the checkout to use the ctools wizard api to control the checkout which will allow for much better control.

basically the changes were too large at this late stage.

I saw on another thread that "invoice" module will be rolled into "ec_store"

From the above I gather "ec_store" on the release candidates nor the first stable will have it?

Gordon,

Apologies, but drupal just released 7 which puts pressure on me to to deal with a low volume legacy website that uses drupal 5, e-commerce and linkpoint for transactions, thus the need for 4.1 which has the transactions feature...

Thus yesterday when I reviewed and saw 4.1 was the stable, I made a sandbox drupal site and tested updated a copy of the drupal site.
I did get ec-commerce to update to 4.1 stable, after many updates..
but when I looked at transaction, two issues,
For all past transactions the customer user got set to anonymous. That was a concern, but worse case
maybe I could massage the about 200 transactions in mysql to apply a userid if need.
The other issue, while I can list existing transactions, I no longer see a link to create or add new transactions,
****/admin/store/transaction

Is the transaction feature in current not finished or am I missing some module or setting, or in wrong place to add transactions?

I went ahead and downloaded the development version yesterday and updated, but it did not change anything.

I would like to resolve this, and if I can just upgrade the legacy website and stay with e-commerce I will update the linkpoint module also for drupal 6.

-sincerely
paul

arrrgggg

I called myself making a thorough look before posting,
yet I just realized something that may be the issue...

I had an admin status report that gives a likely clue:

Customer types Only anonymous customers can be sold to. You will need to enable another customer module to enable be able to sell to other customer types.
Customer types are ways of defining different customers such as anonymous, users, etc.

I added the address module..

I now see customer type
user Attach addresses to Drupal users which can be used for transactions

But the old transactions still show past transactions as user anonymous. :(
(if I can add new transactions, likely I could look at mysql tables massage past to fix...)

However after added the address module and updating,
I still don't see the ability to add a transaction...

maybe I am still missing some step but
if transactions are read only for this release I will be sad and did not see anything about it in the release notes......

I will keep looking and post findings here for others to google :(

OF NOTE, I am using
php5, version- 5.3.3_2
which can generate warning messages for some older modules like date module unless using dev...

Has anyone had any luck figuring this out yet? I installed all the modules connected with ecommerce download, but I don't see any invoicing. I did find the Customer Types settings, but it gives me User and Anonymous, and nothing else.
I'm trying to come up with a system to invoice customers for work we do for them. The customers will then pay the invoice online, and be able to see their current and past bills.

Best I can figure out, this feature is still not available for a version that runs on drupal6 and the changes are not easy. I don't blame the volunteers, but sad none the less.

I'd like to stay with e-commerce, however a new commerce module in beta looks to support this ability and I await it to go release candidate and if this module does not add it back by then maybe switch:
