Commerce Invoicing

[My Sharona]

Is there a way to change the Invoicing numbers?

For example, in my meatspace business, each year starts out with the year then a number of choosing where to start. For example; 2022100 the next invoice would be 2022101 and so on. Next year I want to reset the numbering to reflect that year; 2023100, 2023101etc...

I have looked around the ACP and can see no way to change it. 

Thanks.

There is no way to do this with the default software.

You would need someone to create a plugin or application in order to achieve something like this. As mentioned by Randy, there isnt any way that you would be able to do this within the core product

I wouldn’t want to mess with the ID generation by the software. But a small tip: you can quite easily add prefixes or suffixes to it. That’s what I do to clearly identify my various shops and make the identifiers unique. All you need to do is change the language string “invoice_number”. The change will be shown everywhere the invoice number is used. In the ACP and on the invoice print-outs.
