Invoice number is always as for {automatic_code}

Hello,

I'm sorry but I am not able to understand your message and the problem you're describing.
Please clarify.

Hello,

If you try to display an invoice (sorry, it is NOT a generation) while there is no invoice number ; the order number will be shown instead.

Now if you're talking about generation of the invoice number ; you need to configure HikaShop order statuses (HikaShop > System > Order statuses).
You need to check the "invoice order status".

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I've added some text on the settings to make it more clear:

In HikaShop you have two ids and two numbers for an order:
- the order id is generated when the order is created and it is incremental.
- the order number is generated out of the order id based on your order number format at the same time.
- the invoice id is generated when the order is changed based on how you configured the "invoice" column in the menu System>Order statuses. By default, the invoice id is generated when the order goes from the status created to the status confirmed (that's the way you usually want it on an online shop).
- the invoice number is generated out of the order id based on your invoice number format at the same time as the invoice id.
So the order ids/numbers are contiguous for all the orders and the invoice ids/numbers are contiguous for all the confirmed (paid) orders.
An order that was confirmed at some point and then would be refunded/cancelled would still keep it's invoice id/number.
By default that is. That's also how most online shops need it.
To have a different behavior, it's possible to change the order statuses settings and/or the formats.

If you want to reset the numbering of invoices, you need to delete all the confirmed/cancelled/refunded/shipped orders.
If you want to also reset the numbering of orders, you need to empty the hikashop_order table in your phpmyadmin:
codex.wordpress.org/Emptying_a_Database_Table
Emptying a table in MySQL will remove all its entries and reset its automatic increment to 0.
If you want the orders to start at a specific id from the next order, you need to set the automatic increment in the same table via phpmyadmin: stackoverflow.com/questions/5665571/auto...rement-in-phpmyadmin
If you want the invoices to start at a specific id from the next invoice, you need to have a confirmed order with the id before the one you want in the "order_invoice_id" column. You will have to set that manually via phpmyadmin.

Hello,

In the "hikashop_order" table only the "order_id" field is used by other tables for cross-references.
