Invoice that prints just the payment type

[leeds]

Well, for a while, I have been looking for a report that will just tell me who paid by Credit Card or Purchase order by Check.

After reading through the forums, I came across the ORDER_INVOICE (Printale Invoice) PAGE. Now, this priunts out the Payment Type but all prints out way too much info about the credit card (to actually put on an invoice would be horrible).

So, the code that does the magic is

<mvt:foreach iterator="field" array="order:payment:fields">
<table><tr><th>&mvt:field:label;</th><td>&mvt:field:value;</td></tr></table>


Questions:
a) Is there a way to modify the above code to loop just ONE time and exit? So far, from all the testing I have done, i seems like I just need the first entry in the array.

b) Is there another way to print just the payment type like CC, PO or Check?

Thanks,
Bob

You might find some ideas in this thread:

Good hunting!

Thanks Keith.

Well, &mvt:order:payment:descrip works for and not &mvt:order:payment:desc.

Now, the problem is when it is a credit card, then, it prints the name of the Gateway. It works fine for POs.

So, to resolve this issue, I need to write an "if and else" statement like

<mvt:if expr="&mvt:order:payment:descrip EQ 'Authorize.Net'">
Payment Method:CC
<mvt:else>
<table><tr><th>Payment Method:</th><td>&mvt:order:payment:descrip;</td></tr></table>
</mvt:if>

looks simple - right? But, can't make it work! get syntax error!

Re: Invoice that prints just the payment type

You cannot use &mvt inside the mvt:if conditional. Use l.settings:order:payment:descrip instead.

Actually, I figured it out,

When you have a conditionalk statement, you can't have &mvt.....
In this case, l.settings.:order:payment:descrip

So, this works like a charm
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:order:payment:descrip EQ 'Authorize.Net'">
<table><tr><th>Payment Method:</th><td> CC</td></tr></table>
<mvt:else>
<table><tr><th>Payment Method:</th><td>&mvt:order:payment:descrip;</td></tr></table>
</mvt:if>

Thanks Bill. Yes, I figured out the same thing.

Thanks everyone!

Re: Invoice that prints just the payment type

If it's always the first item in the array you can use this and skip the loop.

&mvt:order:payment:fields[1]:value;

This might sound like a silly question, but how do you invoke this page?

Re: Invoice that prints just the payment type

Thanks Ray! It worked as well to use the first array element!

Really appreciate the help.

Now, to answer alphatect:

You can invoke this page, when you go to Manage Orders, select few orders (by click on check box) and then click on Batch report (and select printable invoice and click run report)

So, now, you have invoices for al the orders you selected. Really cool!


the problem, I was facing was, it was printing out too much data about the payment type. Now, with the different 2 solutions above, I just print "CC" or PO or check payment.

Makes my life really simple in 2 ways - get quick invoices and ca quikly see who made payment by what mode.

Thanks leeds. That must be a PR8 feature. I'm still on PR7, where the options are: Create Batch, Create Shipment, Back Order, Archive, and New Order. Oh well.
