Invoiceninja: Converting a quote to invoice still clones it

[gerroon]

Hi

Maybe I do not understand how this is support to work but here is what is happening.

• Create a Quote (say it is #20)

• When done, convert to Invoice

• Now the Invoice numbered #21

• 20 Quote is still in quotes.

I do not understand this behavior, because it is also confusing. Now I have an invoice called #21 and a quote #20, they are the same thing. Would not in theory turn Quote #20 into Invoice #20?

I am using 4.5.14 with Apache, Php 7.1 on Debian

thanks

This is by design, the new invoice is linked to the original quote.

Maybe consider enabling 'Auto Archive' in the workflow settings on /settings/invoice_settings#quote_workflow

Hi

Thanks for the answer, I will take a look atyour solution.

However would not it make sense if Quote 20 becomes Invoice #20 after the conversion? because what happens then is that invoices jump by doubles as in #21, #23,, #25 etc since quotes and invoices do not share the same number.

That can be accomplished by using either an invoice or quote prefix on Settings > Invoice Settings. This way (for example) QUOTE-20 would become INVOICE-20. In the current version of the app quote/invoice numbers need to be unique.

Thanks for the reply. I will take a look at those settings.
