I think this can be useful, I had to edit invoice a few times.
Thank you for sharing!

for better page view, you also might want to change line 52 into this:
  $cols = array(4, 60, 300, 375, 400, 450, 490, 525);

Here another scenario that happen to me recently. (and this happen quite often in my my business)

- I have a customer that need a quote for 20 items. (I need to manufacture and customize a lot of the items)
- I send him the quote and then in a few days he call back and try to change some of the variation of the items. (price change)
- I send him the revised quote and then in a few days he call back saying " You know what, what about if I do this in 2 phases, we keep the original configuration because I like it better but we do 10 items now and the other 10 items next month or so. Can you give me a revised quote for this.
- Now the problem is that I (or some other employee) already revised this quote 2 times, so how the heck would you remember what the previews quote look like.
- And this is just the beginning, the revision can keep happening a few more times after this point...

As you can see, if the items are standard there is no need to keep track of all the changes, you just add or remove items from your quote. BUT, for those companies manufacturing or offering services or just small customization to the products offered, recording of all this information become essential.

reference number is necessary for most companies, specially larger and multiple locations companies. unfortunately it need more fine tuning.
if you are operating FA from multiple locations it can me a bit frustrating specially for new sales people. ( it happen to me a few times)
you see, if the salesperson is at home or at the customer place using a tablet and try to enter a sales order, well you just get stack; call the office or try again...

but fear not, I have a solution actually two solutions

first one is a simple one and use what FA already have, user id.
each user have a uniq id (or I think they do, I did not check the database structure yet) but that can be entered in front of the reference number. that should be unique and it can not be duplicated unless two persons are using the same username to login.
this also identify how entered the order in the system, for future references...

the second option is more complex and it require database altering. but this also give the user/company more flexibility in customizing orders. under user profile or the admin can set this up for each user, you get to choose how the reference number should start...
this also can help companies operating from diferent cities/states because you can use NY1234 for New York branch or GA1234 for Georgia branch

as for me, I think I'll use the first option as a quiq fix but eventually I'll change to the second option

i have the same problem, and i was thinking to hack FA and try to generate a random number

I just logout and login again and now it seems to work fine.
Thank you Joe ( I guess i do have to pay rent after all)
