Adding a receipt number to Purchase Email

[KKOG]

Hello,

Some further assistance sought.

The legislation under which our association operates requires us to issue receipts for membership payments in the form "Financial Year-Sequential Number" eg "17/18-123".  The receipt number received through the PayPal transaction does not the legislative requirement.

I would like to add a receipt number for all purchases from our store, both membership and non-membership, with the sequential number incrementing no matter what type of purchase is made.

We could issue the receipt number as part of the text of the Purchase Email, but this would require the addition of 2 parameters that could be included into the text, i.e. one for Financial Year and one for the Sequential Number.  These parameters could be defined in the Store Settings, with the starting number for the Sequential Number being defined as would be the current Financial Year (if defined as a parameter then the financial year could be for example 17/18 or 2017 depending on how it is defined).  I am assuming the Sequential Number would require the addition of a field in the database.

Could you please advise if the above is possible and if you were to do it for us could you please PM me any cost that would be involved.

Thanks

For Sequential Number can that the order id?? If so then we only need to add one field in the admin area for the year.

The Sequential Number could be the Order ID (number)

Our Sec/Treasurer has asked that the receipt number asl be included in the Purchase Notification for Store Admins email as well.

This would mean making the % parameters available to that email as well.

Ok Can it should be 2017 or do you want two digits for year I can generate it internally as long as it is the current year.

I posted an update check for this code in storeipn2.php https://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,825.msg5016.html#msg5016

In multiple spots

Code: [Select]

//KKOG
$message = str_replace('%receiptnumber', date("Y"). '-' . $basketID,$message);


Then in your email template add this variable %receiptnumber
