Adding the backorder number to the invoice with items on backorder

Steven Ezzeddine

Hi Guys,

 

I really love the idea of having the items on backorder display in a table below the invoice however it can be confusing to our customers as the total balance due will only be for the items in stock and a new order is issued for the items on backorder which will then be issued separately.

 

To help our customers, i was trying to figure out how to include the order number for the backorder, on the table where the items on backorder display.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Steve

The backorder portion is generated by the [%backorder_items%] tag, which is unfortunately undocumented. You could try guessing a tag (like [@order_id@]) which would go in the [%param *body%] section of the backorder items. But it might not be possible.
