[INCL. PATCH] Two digit YEAR in invoice numbering

[Hix]

Guys,

easy to implement, but would help a lot of people:

TWO digit year in invoice numbering -- eg. 16100986 -- {shortyear}{month}{day}{num} -- Settings > Company > Invoice Customization

here is the patch (but use rather that attached one):

--- ./invoices-old.php  2016-10-09 11:45:43.000000000 +0200
+++ ./app/models/invoices.php   2016-10-09 12:10:29.000000000 +0200

                $vars['id_format'] = str_ireplace($tags, $replacements, $inv_format);

                // Creates subquery to calculate the next invoice ID value on the fly

That is so cool  I've added this to mine now you've shown me how to do it.

$tags = array("{year}", "{shortyear}", "{month}", "{day}", "{GB}", "{EU}", "{US}");
$replacements = array($this->Date->format("Y"), $this->Date->format("y"), $this->Date->format("m"), $this->Date->format("d"), 'GB', 'EU', 'US');

Be neat if we can set the Country for the company and use that tag like some companies do: GB02389234 EU2389423 etc.

Now mine is: GB1610091 [{GB}{shortyear}{month}{day}{num}]

@Paul do you like this feature request to have the short date?

it would be cool... I think this is quite an important stuff, especially under this stupid EU/CZ jurisdisction (we're from Prague, CZ).

A lot of companies over here use also a CUSTOMER ID in their invoicing schemas.. so.. a lot of macros would be useful.

The good thing imho is that it is soo easy to implement i Blesta.. 

Also -- this can be a game-changes for NEW customers moving over to Blesta -- they can CONTINUE with their numbering.

And thats important especially under restrictive jurisdictions, such as atmost of EU countries.

You got weird numbering scheme? Or you changed anything? Well... you could be tampering with somehing -> deep check of your accounting stuff

maybe it's not as necessary..  but I've seen that (that some people include CLIENTID in their invoices numbering).

[Rocketz]

+1 on these. Country and client ID would be great
