Hello,
The Order Number and the Invoice Number are two different things.
Order Number is generated at the order creation and the Invoice Number at the order confirmation.
The Invoice ID/Number have some legal rules.
Copying the Invoice id from the customer invoice is not correct for the vendor since he would have non consecutive numbers.
Nevertheless, if you does not to follow these rules, you can override the "invoice number format" in the vendor settings and use the keyword
