Quote -> Order Confirmation -> Invoice

Hi all,

I just started having a look a SuiteCRM (Version 7.7.8) and the modules for generating quotes and invoices.

After a bit of testing the major question on our side is:

Is it possible to automatically generate an order confirmation from a quote? And then automatically generate the invoice from the order confirmation?

Going from Quote -> Invoice directly does work, even with custom fields (nice).

Am I right in assuming that doing Quote -> Order Confirmation -> Invoice would require adjusting the source code?

For instance, if I understood things correctly so far, SuiteCRM/AOS only manages number groups for quotes and invoices but not for anything else (Admin -> AOS Settings -> Initial Quote Number / Initial Invoice Number).

The only workaround that I can come up with is to treat the order confirmation as a different kind of quote/invoice. But it seems I somehow would have to handle the number ranges manually.

And more importantly: If an order confirmation is just another quote to SuiteCRM/AOS, it will probably issue the next quote number for this order confirmation, which is not the thing I want.

And a minor question is, whether AOS can generate an ODT (or DOC) document instead of a PDF?

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

TIA and reards – Till
