:+1: +1: +1: i guys.
Just attempting to understand these two fields:

So how do you configure them correctly so they generate the invoice the way you want it?

If I understand things correctly filed number one “number pattern” is how you want the numbers of the invoice to appear, right?

Field number two “number counter” is that it starts on a specific number?

How/which of the “shortcodes” are intended to be used and for which field of these?:

Also is the client tab for the clients/company number generated and vice versa for the invoice tab?

Anything specific to consider when setting this up?

Thanks in advance for clearing things up a bit for me. :+1:
Kind regards.

Hi,

That’s correct, the pattern is the string format and the counter in the next number.

The variables can only be used in the pattern value.

Thanks Hillel.

Could you maybe give me and example how you have configured those fields with a screenshot maybe, please?

Thanks a bunch again! :smiley:

What are you trying to accomplish?

Just trying to standardize stuff system wide.

Here’s one example, if you set the pattern to {$date:y-m-d}-{$counter} the value would be 24-04-09-0003

Oops I missed that last part with the counter. I read it too fast. I have redacted my text.

Thank you very much. Is there some way you can set the number to not begin at the very beginning but lets say it starts 100 instead?

9

Sure, you’d just need to set 100 as the counter value
