No Invoice Number Generated for Processing

Sorry – where ever I have said ‘order number’ above I meant ‘invoice mumber’

Hi @simplyniknaks,

That is strange. Is the processing email going out to the customer? And if so, does it have the invoice attached?

I think I may have solved it – it may be a plugin I am using.

I use this plugin to pull in my ebay and amazon orders and they are pulled in at status ‘Processing’ – so presumably it is not firing the woocommerce ‘order status changed to processing’ event.

I may be able to hook into an action on the plugin when it creates the order to call something in your plugin to assign Invoice Number. If so what would I call?

Ah that makes sense actually. Our plugin does not create the invoice at a certain status, but for a status email. It is likely that the ebay plugin does not send out those emails so the invoice is never created.
If you have a hook for the orders created via the ebay importer, you can create a PDF like so:

$order = wc_get_order( $order_id ); // only needed if you don't have the order object yet
$invoice = wcpdf_get_invoice( $order, true ); // the 'true' parameter will init the invoice and create the ninvoice umber (if it didn't have one yet)

Hope that helps!

Great. Yes – Ive put that code in the hook and it works fine now.
