Reference number must always be specified.

[pekkari]

Hi,

I made a pdf invoice, and I noticed that in the box right below the BIC it's possible to read:

Invoice number: 1
Reference number must always be specified.

Though below it, there comes tow boxes that shows:

Ref. Nr. 8XXX0 9XXX2 6XXX0 XXXX2

I specified a 20 lenght ref. number that for any reason is not detected in that box.

Hi,

I'm not sure I really understood what the problem is. Could you create a screenshot from test data that would show the problem? For what it's worth, here's my attempt that, as far as I can see, doesn't show any problems:

Oh well, it might have misunderstood it, but actually your screenshot shows the very same
message, and I thought it was some kind of template error. The message is the reminder in right
column, 2nd row: "Reference number must always be specified.". I never saw it in any regular invoice,
so I'll most likely modify it to drop it.

Thanks Ere!

Right, that's a standard text in Finnish invoices when the reference number should be used. You can customize the strings without having to change the provided language file by creating e.g. invoice_en-US.local.ini in the lang directory and putting your customizations there.

That is a really good tip, as that way, when I decide to get updates, the changes to stash and apply will be
considerably less. Thanks Ere!
