Dont know about others, but I am sending different invoices in different situations.

* Buyer country/nationality
* Payment choice
* Whether it is the initial invoice, or an updated invoice following the order
addition

Not an issue for a small store, but when you need to send out 30 invoices a day
it may mean a lot of wasted time in copy/pasting the templates and editing the
values. It all adds up at the end of the month.

A drop-down menu (at 'My Orders Received' screen) to choose what custom
template will be applied, would be very nice.

Yes it is possible to use Conditional Block Macro Tags but they do not cover
everything.

This suggestion is only for manual invoicing, I hope we will still have that
option in BL1+

Not something that requires days of coding either.

Thank you for your consideration.

Voted yes. Good idea. So much so that several others have already made the same
or similar suggestions:

Ha. OK. I tried to search for previous suggestions, but probably not hard enough.

Thanks

I support your suggestion. If you need something now, you can use the Bricklink
API to create your own. -Jason
