Custom invoice number

complete

The current invoice prefix is too generic. Perhaps we could allow custom invoice prefix. Also, in Bulgaria, by law, only 10 digits are allowed in the invoice number. No characters, no symbols. Perhaps we a template string could be added in the UI.

Hey Kamen Kanchev, I'm starting to work on this feature. Can I ask you to provide an invoice number you expect:

Prefix
How to distinguish your customer
How to distinguish the sequential id (position of invoice for a single customer)

Would be very helpful! Thanks

Lago admin: IMO, you could use some kind of pattern formatting, similar to date formatting in dayjs and leave the administrator set their own pattern for the invoice numbering.

Alexander: "Add different invoice number generators, at least one of them should hide information about how much customers do we store in database. (It’s possible to create new account every month and spy on startup traction, how much new users joined in this month. This information can be interesting for competitors. Also it can decrease reputation and trust to you if you have less than 100 customers and a new user based on invoice number will understand that fact.) (ex. KAN-6BEC-019-006, I’m a user №19)"
