Thank you")* Hi, Note that it will only be added to the invoice if the address in the order has the VAT number. Also, the address format is saved as a view override of address / address_template on the frontend and order / address_template in the backend. So, if you don't see the change in the backend, it could be that the override could not be added for your template in the backend. You can always manually copy the file templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/address/address_template.php to administrator/YOUR_BACKEND_TEMPLATE/html/order/address_template.php via FTP and it will be taken into account.

I checked the overrides and the views as you said and the address_template.php has the same content both in administrator folder and my template frontend folder. So i am kinda confused here. Isn't there an easier way to do this? May i send you credentials to see it yourself? Thank you again!

It must be your browser which cached the old version of the invoice popup and is redisplaying it to you without contacting the server again. Try with another browser and you should not have the issue, confirming that the change has been taken into account. You can then clear your browser's cache.

I cleaned cache etc. This is the order backend override code (administrator/templates/atum/html/com_hikashop/order/address_template.php) Code: <?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?> {address_company} {address_title} {address_firstname} {address_lastname} {address_street} {address_post_code} {address_city} {address_state} {address_country} {address_vat} <?php if(!empty($this->address->address_telephone)) echo JText::sprintf('TELEPHONE_IN_ADDRESS','{address_telephone}');?> and this is the address frontend override code (templates/yootheme/html/com_hikashop/address/address_template.php) Code: <?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?> {address_company} {address_title} {address_firstname} {address_lastname} {address_street} {address_post_code} {address_city} {address_state} {address_country} {address_vat} <?php if(!empty($this->address->address_telephone)) echo JText::sprintf('TELEPHONE_IN_ADDRESS','{address_telephone}');?> Is it correct?

Otherwise, you need to look at the override file for the corresponding template. If that doesn't help, please provide a backend access via our contact form so that we can check the situation.

The issue is that you had only activated the frontend and the backend listing display settings of the custom field but not the backend form display setting. And the system bases itself on this display setting to load the data of the field for each address in the invoice. That's why you didn't see it in the backend invoice area. I've activated the display setting of the custom field for you and now it displays in the invoice.
