Numbering module for invoices

There is also a model that allows you to specify the way to forge the number from a mask template. Place the mouse hover the help pictogram to see the syntax to define such a mask.
Note: If there is no numbering sub-module that match you own rule, you can still hire a developer to build it.
Invoice documents models
Also, you can use several predefined invoices document models. To build an invoice using a particular model, go on invoice tab and, in the array "Documents" at the bottom of the page, choose the model and click on "Build" to generate the document for invoice from this model.
You can use different types of document generation (PDF or ODT). You must enable the models you want to use (you can then use them from the invoice tab in the "Documents" area by selecting the template and clicking "Generate", to regenerate the invoice with a particular document template). The model provided by default is "crabe", which is a PDF template fulfilling the legal obligations of most countries of the world.
