Full item numbers on documents

Full item numbers on documents

By default Shopware truncates the item number on invoices and other documents to 10 characters. Long or structured item numbers (e.g. SW-2024-PREMIUM-XL01) get cut off and become unusable. With the Full item numbers on documents plugin, item numbers with up to 20 characters are displayed in full on your documents – without any configuration.

Without the plugin, Shopware cuts the item number after 10 characters – the actual number is no longer recognizable on the document.
