hello
When creating an automatic renewal invoice numbering goes wrong.
My invoice numbers are classified as follows 20070001 (2007 is the year that I started).
example:
I make an annual bill that has number 20070164 when sending this invoice get R20070165 as invoice number. which means that there are gaps in the billing. R20070165 because the real bill.
We automatically add an ‘R’ to the beginning of system generated recurring invoices to easily tell them apart.
In the future we’ll look into making this configurable. For now you can disable it by removing the ‘R’ from the call to getNextInvoiceNumber() in app/Console/SendRecurringInvoices.php.
So i have 2 same invoices with different numbers (200700164 and R200700165) and this is wrong.
When i turnover my invoices to my accountant i can’t have any numbers missing or twice the same invoice.
I think the “recurring jobs” should be a separate table from where the recurring invoice are generated with the first available number.
One additional thought, if you haven’t created more invoices you should be able to rename R200700165 to R200700164 and then subtract one from the invoice counter.
I realize this is a pain but thought I’d suggest it in case it helps.
