    Hi,

    There is an issue with the invoice that gets sent to my customers

    In regards to recent orders:

    Leanne Howie
    Kym Jarman (Test)

    The item 'whole chicken' has been ordered.
    However in regards to the Invoice displayed when a customer clicks on the 'view submission' button in body of email - the order overall TOTAL is correct, however, the whole chicken item has disappeared from the listed items.

    It only seems to be happening for the item 'whole chickens' from what i can tell at the moment

    1. Leanne alerted us by saying my order total is correct but the 4 x whole chickens i have ordered dont seem to be listed on the order. She is correct. Her invoice total to pay $222 is correct however the list of items displayed on invoice via link only adds up to $110.
    2. I did 2 x Test orders as Kym Jarman, and in both cases the same thing happened. Customer gets email confirming their order with an invoice attached - In this case the "attachment" lists the whole chickens correcly. However if you click on the 'view' button in the body of the email it opens a page in a browser which displays the invoice - however the the Whole Chicken line is nowhere to be seen... Even though the total is correct.

    (i could have attached screenshots for the Kym Jarman test orders, however, this method only allows one screenshot)

    Hi,

    1. It isn’t the form that is experiencing the issue. It’s the invoice that gets sent to the customer (automatically sent after they submit the form)
    2. So now the Invoice functionality is glitching and your screenshot upload feature also doesn’t work. That’s 2 things for you to look into/fix

    I am not sure how I feel as the customer being told it was my fault it didn’t work or that I have to go and check multiple places to diagnose the issue

    Hmmmm

    Unexpected total amount is showing on my invoice Image 1 Screenshot 30Unexpected total amount is showing on my invoice Image 2 Screenshot 41Form link is https://form.jotform.com/242531069591862

    however, please remember there is no issue with the form but more with the invoice which gets generated once the form is submitted by the customer

    you will see in the screenshots - the item whole chicken - appears on the order confirmation - but it’s completely disappeared off the list on the invoice. Even though the total is still correct.

    Hi kymjarman,

    Note that as the invoice is related to the form, it's important to identify the correct form so we can check the invoice related to it, that's being sent after form submission for any errors. I'm checking your account but there are multiple forms that are related to chicken. Are you referring to the Koonunga Valley Produce - Pasture Raised Chick form? If so, I see that this form is configured to send an invoice. Check out the screenshot below for your reference:

    I've cloned it, and tested it on my end to see if I can replicate the issue. When I made the submission with a total of 127 AUD below :

    I received the correct data on the email which is seen below:

    As well as on the invoice shown below:

    If you can be a bit more specific on which form and submission ID exactly is affected, and share a bit more on how you'd like it to work, that'll give us a better idea of what's going on and allow us to help you build your forms exactly as you wanted it.

    We can also look into this for you. We’ll just need access to your account to do that. Don't worry, you can disable that again after we're done checking things out. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In the upper-right corner of your My Forms page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image icon.

    2. In the small window that opens, click on Settings.

    3. In the panel on the left, click on the Security tab.

    4. Then, on the bottom-right side of the page, toggle Jotform Support Access to the On position.

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.
