Email subject
"Invoice for BrickLink Order #"

The Email subject is fixed / not modifiable, and I would like it to be editable
to suit my store's needs. E.g. replace the word 'Invoice' with something
else.

So I suggest to make this editable, including support for the macro's
in order to be able to match the email subject better with the contents of the
invoice template.

It is located on this page:

Thx,
Arnoud

Uh, never noticed this inability before.

What are some other possible uses beyond the macro tag mentioned, would edit-ability
be beneficial to the seller?

E.g. the macro SHIPTO-EQ makes it possible to determine if the mail is send Domestic
or International. For Domestic purposes the contents are different than for International.
It is rather odd that the mail subject cannot be different.

Thanks, didn't notice that macro, I could add Spanish text just for national
orders now.

Yes, that's how I do it. By the lacking of country and language macro's,
see my other suggestion: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1247088

I see.

Having never noticed the inability, hadn't given thought to it before. Thanks.

Now I'm left to speculate the reason/s that it is fixed?

Sometimes I feel so damn clueless. Not knowing this about the template before
your post, leaves me feeling that way just now

For VAT registered businesses the ability to call it a "Tax Invoice" as is legally
required to do;
For other sellers, the BL "invoice" is actually a summary of the order with an
account number for settlemet. It is not actually an invoice, so it would be better
to call it "order summary and payment details"
For international freight, the BL invoice does not suffice even if customised
as it is just a summary with some account details;
I've noticed some states calls the document on which US sales tax is raised
a "receipt", "bill" or even "memorandum of sale". It should be possible to correctly
state what is issued;
For US states, sellers are not collecting nor paying over sales tax so no seller
can raise a financial obligation to the buyer on their invoice. Sellers selling
to USA buyers should be able to head the document "BrickLink Sales Tax Bill"
to avoid confusion and misrepresentation.

I do not know the situation in the USA, but here all documents issued purporting
to be a business invoice must at the very least have numbers which follow on
or in series. The document currently called "invoice" fails on this and it would
be better if that can be retitled memorandum or sales bill or sales note or whatever
is suitable, anything but an invoice actually.

I don't think that'd be a good idea, as people will want to sort all
their invoices for their administration. They may have email message filters
set up, or want do a search on the word "invoice" to collect them in their administration.

That may be so, nonetheless for private persons in The NL it is legaly not
allowed to use the word Invoice (Factuur). The word Invoice applies only
to businesses that are allowed to or must charge VAT. Since BL is already in
the process of VAT and sales tax, this should be included in that process.
