Purchase Order Number in PDF invoice?

General General Questions
1

When I print the PDF invoice from a purchase order, the payment method is correct (purchase order) but I don't see the purchase order number on the invoice anywhere. Is there a way to add the PO number to the PDF?



Thanks

I think you will find that the Purchase Order Number does not appear on email notifications, or anywhere else for that matter! The only place it is displayed is within the admin panel when viewing orders. Makes absolutely no practical business sense whatsoever!



I posted this in the bugtracker months ago, however, there is some cultural confusion as to the proper use & display of purchase order numbers in business. They viewed it as somehow confidential information, when in reality there is nothing confidential about a PO number, in fact it should be prominently displayed on all order related correspondence throughout the cycle! :angry:



So, yes you will have to modify whichever templates that you want the customer’s PO number to be displayed on … and this should not be necessary.



If you search the forums you should be able to find some pointers as to the code changes needed to display the PO number.

So you display order number + invoice number on invoice?





How do you treat order status completed? Meaning

Invoice/Credit memo: Default, Order, Invoice?

Hi,



I found the following edit worked in /skins/basic/mail/orders/invoice.tpl





{if $order_info.payment_info.po_number !=''}


{$lang.po_number}:
{$order_info.payment_info.po_number}

{else}
{/if}

Cheers,
J

Thanks for this, I got it added in to my invoices, but how would I get this added to be shown on the admin side in the view order screen?

Hello,

If you setup a payment method called “Purchase order” along with the po_tpl then the purchase order number is displayed while viewing these orders within your CS-Cart admin.



My beef is that by default, the Purchase Order Number should be displayed on ALL order related correspondence, Invoices, order notifications, etc. etc
