Mass Export Of Invoices

[a.daniello]

I'ld like a mass export of invoices, anyone can help me?

 

Why?

 

I need give invoices to my tax preparer and a CSV report isn't valid. Until today we do this task selecting, one by one, the invoices but.... is very tedious!!!

 

Any suggestion is very appreciated!

 

Thanks

i need the same feature , i have this MOD in my personnal TODO list . but until i arrive to this mod , i have almost 20 plugins/modules to finish (personnal) , and about 10 plugins/modules for the cummunity in free version . i don't count the payed plugins/modules .

but if you want to make a plugin for this , is not to complicated , i have the scenario -/+ how to do it in my mind .

1 - select generated invoice between date xxxx and date xxxx . (here store just the invoices ID in array)

2 - for each invoice run the donwload invoice function , and store it under a custome folder .

enjoy

naja7host, what do you think about

 

1. download all invoices in an archive (eg. a zip file)

 

or

 

2. download all invoices in only one PDF file (as now is in email with multiple invoices)

 

?

i preffer get invoice by invoice , if all are zipped in one file is great .

but the essiencial is to store them in a ftp folder , not attached all in email .

+1 for this feature.

 

Its not very hard, like naja7host said

 

We will also need for our accounting and a few extras like:

 

1º- PDF Final Invoice Exporting (this is in this forum)

2º- SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) - its a XML file standard for exporting all Clients Data + Services Data + Invoices Data in one big XML file for all EU countries for legal accounting

 

More info in here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAF-T

http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/tax_fraud_evasion/com_2012_722_en.pdf

 

We are using a report that we build for our own WHMCS and we will port to blesta and release here wen time comes to finally go with blesta live

i want just to give you more info that can help you todo this task . the TCPDF wrapper support saving file to a local folder , so basically you didn't need to code any thing to save the output , what you need is just a code like this

 

Loader::loadComponents($this, array("SettingsCollection", "Upload"));

$temp = $this->SettingsCollection->fetchSetting(null, Configure::get("Blesta.company_id"), "uploads_dir");
$upload_path = $temp['value'] . Configure::get("Blesta.company_id") . DS . "pdf_files" . DS;
// Create the upload path if it doesn't already exist
$this->Upload->createUploadPath($upload_path, 0777);

$this->pdf->Output($upload_path . $name . "." . $this->getFileExtension($this->mime_type), 'F');

this code will save the files to the upload folder inside the c ompany folder , in pdf_files folder .

you can customise more to add a subfolder fot the dates of the generated invoice .

This would be very useful for income purpose... We export all invoices in 1 PDF for the tax man... This is one thing i miss from WHMCS. Any updates?

Is this useful feature released yet?

Is this useful feature released yet? 

 

Not yet, and I don't think there's a feature request for it to get the votes and maybe a CORE number.

You want a single PDF of all invoices in a given date range? How many invoices are you anticipating being generated? Would a CSV report work instead?
