I am finding in FRED that I have to issue new invoice prefixes now that the year has
changed
from 2017 to 2018.
If I do not do this then I get an error :
"Missing invoice prefix"
when I try to add credit to a registrar account using the
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
command
I am having to do this for each zone which is painful because I have 10+ zones.
Is there a way to update this automatically when the year changes ?
Additionally, is there a way that I can run the
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
command for a zone and land on the correct prefix every time ?
In many cases when I run the command
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
I get the error
DEATAIL: Key (prefix)=(interger) already exits
and I have to run the command a few more times before I land on an interger that the
command accepts.
How can I get around this and land on the correct interger for the command without having
to
repeat it?

Paulos

Then write a simple loop in bash. ;-) Personally I don't see how running even 20
commands once per
year is painful...?

Just write the script and cron it...
Having this to be done manually suits my needs and I'd like it to stay as it is.
Money, invoicing, prefixes, banks and so on aren't the same all over the world. So I
guess creating
"one fits all" solution is not so easy.

Isn't it working this way? I mean: each zone should have unique prefix anyway and
based on the zone
of the invoice, FRED selects the correct prefix.

I guess this happens because you don't have a unique prefix per zone. Therefore they
overlap sometimes.
Make sure each zone has exactly one unique prefix for 2018.
If you have 20 zones, this can work like this:
fred-admin --invoice_add_prefix --zone_fqdn=one.zone --type=0 --prefix=2018010000
fred-admin --invoice_add_prefix --zone_fqdn=two.zone --type=0 --prefix=2018020000
...
fred-admin --invoice_add_prefix --zone_fqdn=twenty.zone --type=0 --prefix=2018200000

Piotr,
Thanks for the suggestions on bash scripts and cron :-) ... but ...especially on need for
and
how to create unique invoice prefixes for the zones. I will try these and see how they
work.
These could be added to the documentation ... perhaps

Paulos

Hi!
There's a simple command for this:
$ fred-admin --create_invoice_prefixes --for_current_year
It will create invoice prefixes for all zones following the default
pattern PPYY00001.

Hi, you can also check following commands out:
fred-admin --add_invoice_number_prefix (create configuration)
add_invoice_number_prefix options:
--add_invoice_number_prefix add invoice number prefix for zones and
invoice
types in invoice_number_prefix if they don't
exist
--prefix arg two-digit invoice number prefix
--zone_fqdn arg zone name
--invoice_type_name arg name of invoice type (advance, account, ...)
fred-admin --create_invoice_prefixes [--for_current_year] (this command
is designed to be added to cron)
If you need more control over prefix format use Piotrs approach.
Best regards
