Yup we hack up ours to print both a full sheet Invoice with graphics, and a second duplicate sheet for our records.

We design ours so they fold into standard document enclosed slips. It's great having a "one click" invoice + dispatch note ability. And with page breaks put in it's also compatible wiith the multipage display.

On one of our sites we select all processed orders for that day and just click our "dispatch papers" link and it fires off all of the order invoices and duplicates (which have INTERNAL COPY on them), then we just pack and ship.

It's such a time saver you can't appreciate it until you've had to use the standard default invoice.

Difference in time is major:

Normal x-cart method for packing client
--------------------------
Checks orders for the day,
starts copying name, address to real invoice
copy's items to real invoice
copy's totals to real invoice
reformats it
Prints it
Creates another packing label
Prints it
Packs goods


Hacked up invoice mod we use, the normal client routine is
==========
Checks orders for the day, selects processed ones,
Clicks "print all"
Prints Duplicate Invoice and internal invoice for those record in one go on a proper looking printable invoice.
Packs goods.


On some sites, the time save between the two methods above amounts to several hours per day which amounts to solid days per month.
