[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-456?page=comments#action_12459269 ] Iain Fogg commented on OFBIZ-456: ---------------------------------
Chris/Jacopo, Many thanks for keeping this on the radar. >From my perspective, having future invoices not exhibit the behaviour is fine >(ie, no need to invest any effort in tweaking existing invoices). Re: the suggested solutions, I suspect I'd vote for #2. The reason is slightly obtuse. I very frequently have to make invoice adjustments, especially for Purchase Orders. This is to account for slight price differences that arise on the system generated invoices, compared to the suppliers (definitive) invoice. I also need to adjust the OFBiz invoices for GST. For all these adjustments, I need to add new invoice items, and currently I have to be careful to include the 0 padding to ensure the new items end up in the right sequence. For example, if I have 8 items on the invoice, I need to specify a seq # of 09 for the new one. This is OK, but if we change the default 2-padding to (say) 5-padding, it becomes a pain to enter all those padding 0's. If I can just specify the significant digits (eg, 9) and let the system work out how to store this information and display, then that makes it easy for me.
