Is there a way to view an invoice?

I need to copy-paste an invoice -- the invoice that would ordinarily be printed and included in the package -- into an email and send it to someone else to print out. Is there a way?

Thanks, Sue

Sue,

Are you talking about the INvoice that is generated when you send shipping notices? I just about forgot what that one looks like

Why don't you duplicate one of your Total amount due email templates, clean up the stuff you don't want and use it. Would that work?

I'm talking about the Invoice that gets printed when I click Invoice: Print on the main Invoices window. It's got all the info you'd typically see in a packing slip.

I think your idea about using one of the email templates would work ok -- just not as spiffy. Maybe I can add some lines (rows of hyphens) to make it look more invoice-y.

Thanks, Sue

Sue,

I'll print one off this morning at work. I honestly don't remember what they look like because we print customized packing slips generated in the Reports. Once I refresh my memory, maybe I can think of something that will work.

As per your suggestion, I configured an email template last night that will serve quite nicely as an ersatz invoice/packing slip.

Here's what it ends up looking like after it's pasted into Word and formatted a little (center the top and bottom portions; different font; tab the dollar amounts over so they're aligned):

Sue,

Hey girl that looks good! You are set to go!

Thanks!

If anyone's interested, here how to configure it in your Template Editor (you'll have to figure out the spacing/carriage returns because they won't show up correctly here):

INVOICE HEADER SECTION:

Invoice #<#InvoiceNumber>
Invoice Date: <#InvoiceDate f=d1>
Scheduled Ship Date: <#ShipDate f=d1>

FROM:
your name
your street
your city, state zip

TO:
<#BuyerAddress>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVOICE ITEM INFORMATION SECTION:

<#AuctionSiteName> #<#AuctionID> <#Title>

Sue,

Excellent!! Thanks for taking the time to post that information.

Correcting an error in the template:

The INVOICE FOOTER section should start with this:

Shipping & Handling: <#ShippingCost f=c>
Total: <#TotalDue f=c>
Special Handling &/or Insurance: <#InsCost f=c>
Invoice Total: <#TotalDue f=c>
Amount Paid: <#AmountPaid f=c>
Balance Due: <#BalanceDue f=c>
