How do I print an invoice
Hi,
once again, there is a problem I can't solve by reading the doc or by websearch.
The shop owner wants to wants to sell by invoice, of course.
And I can not find the workflow, how to print an invoice to enclose it to the package.
Regards
Christian
PS: I need a workflow for the simple view, as the shop owner is not an expert.

Re: How do I print an invoice
Aimeos doesn't care about invoicing because this is something for an accounting system. You can export the Aimeos orders in the order panel and the exported file will be available afterwards in the dashboard.
Alternatively, you can add a button that generates a PDF of the order if that is enough for your customer.

Hello,
a printable PDF is enough.
Is there a ready to use implementation or do I have to make it myself?

Re: How do I print an invoice
Haven't seen any generic solution for that because generating a PDF that can be adapted seems to be hard to implement

Okay,
I have been experimenting to generate a PDF from scratch on my own and I understand, that it is hard to do.
What I don't understand is, that shopping-software like Aimeos or tt-products, which I have used before, have such a hard time making a print-function for the invoices. That really annoys me.
Because the function to print an invoice seems very existential to me. A shop owner, who is selling by invoice (which is still payment #1 in germany), needs a simple way to get the invoice out of the software into the packet.
Do you have an alternative to print the invoice?
Maybe some BE-Plugin, thirdparty software or anything?

Re: How do I print an invoice
For Aimeos the answer is pretty simple: Aimeos isn't optimized for extremly small shops. Instead, the main target audience are shop owners who use at least accounting software, even if it's only something like Sage or Lexware (or their online counterparts) because invoicing is really their domain. On the other end, Aimeos will scale up to millions of products and ten-thousands of orders a day in highly complex setups with numerous integrations into other systems!chricken wrote: What I don't understand is, that shopping-software like Aimeos or tt-products, which I have used before, have such a hard time making a print-function for the invoices.
We have good experience with the TCPDF library which abstracts low level stuff and makes generating PDFs a lot easier.chricken wrote: Do you have an alternative to print the invoice?

That's fine for me, I just wanted to know.aimeos wrote: For Aimeos the answer is pretty simple: Aimeos isn't optimized for extremly small shops.

Right now, I am trying your suggestions (Sage and Lexware) and both are absolutely effordable for small businesses, too.

I guess, you have connected them via the Sage API, didn't you?nos3 wrote:We use the SageOne web service and are pretty satisfied: https://www.sageone.de/
I can't find anything about it in the documentation. Can anyone please give me a hint, how to send information to Sage / Lexoffice?
