Hi,

One way is to rename the file manually. You can preview printout by using

Instant Invoice => Print or Reprint

and in next window use Preview button

Printout is opened in Acrobat Reader and next you can use Save as option and create your printout with the name given manually, example Invoice-series-number.pdf.

I do hope you find an answer @BABBECKYDEAN (I’m not sure @Pawel Dworzynski suggestion is necessarily efficient - particularly if you have a large volume of invoice or if you’re automatically emailing them direct to customers)

We and many other customers have been wanting a solution to this for many years.  It’s rather frustrating that documents aren’t given file names that include the invoice number.  The same applies for Order number in Customer Order  Confirmation or Purchase Orders.

Fingers crossed!

Hi,

It's possible to setup a report rule that saves every pdf to a specific folder and in that rule specify what the filename should be (invoice_no.pdf for example).

We are running a report rule which does the above. The rule also creates a folder based on invoice date and the rule kicks in when the print job has run, ie when you press OK in the print dialog window.

@JohanLindstrom  Does this email the customer their invoice with an invoice number in the file name or is it just creating a folder with saved invoice pdfs which have been re-named?

Thanks

Linda 

@MKG019 Do you have any detailed instruction on how to set your report rule up other than just the xml?

Thanks

Linda

Hi,

You can also refer to IFS F1 document for further detailed explanation.

Regards,

@MKG019 At which point do we apply your xml?  

Night need a consultant to look at this.  

Hi Linda,

Attached XML id reporte rule configuration that can be imported to IFS and used also this is pdf output report rule setup.

To email address you can make the email address setup and use SQL query or report property values for fething email addresses.

It’s possible to do both, see post from Mukesh.

Hi Linda,

1. Import the Report rule
