Magento: Quick way to create order invoice programmatically

Here is a quick and easy way to create order invoice programmatically.

Suppose, $_order contains your order.

Here goes the code to create invoice:-

if($_order->canInvoice()) {
	/**
	 * Create invoice
	 * The invoice will be in 'Pending' state
	 */
	$invoiceId = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice_api')
						->create($_order->getIncrementId(), array());

	$invoice = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice')
						->loadByIncrementId($invoiceId);

	/**
	 * Pay invoice
	 * i.e. the invoice state is now changed to 'Paid'
	 */
	$invoice->capture()->save();
}

That’s all. Your invoice for the order is created. Isn’t that easy :)

Hope this helps. Thanks.

    Thank you. It’s been helpful.
    However, I’ve found that it’s not necessary to use canInvoice() as the create() method already perform the check.

    Thanks for the snippet, pointed me in the right direction. It turns out that using your snippet the order status will be modified to ‘processing’ and I wanted it to be complete.

    So I ended up using:

    $invoiceId = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice_api')
    ->create($order->getIncrementId(), array(), 'Invoice Created', true, true);

    $invoice = Mage::getModel('sales/order_invoice_api')
    ->capture($invoiceId);

    Good thing the capture from API doesn’t change the order status, yey!

    Works great, but how can the invoice notification be sent automatically to the customer after the creation?
    Hi Lijith, could you make the code send to the customer?

    which php file do we place this bit of code?

    if we need to create invoice from root directory or conducting some kind unit testing I think invoice api doesn’t work. Another cool code goes here that works all over the magento from any location:

    try {if(!$order->canInvoice()){Mage::throwException(Mage::helper(‘core’)->__(‘Cannot create an invoice.’));} $invoice = Mage::getModel(‘sales/service_order’, $order)->prepareInvoice(); if (!$invoice->getTotalQty()) {Mage::throwException(Mage::helper(‘core’)->__(‘Cannot create an invoice without products.’));} $invoice->setRequestedCaptureCase(Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Invoice::CAPTURE_ONLINE);$invoice->register();$transactionSave = Mage::getModel(‘core/resource_transaction’)->addObject($invoice)->addObject($invoice->getOrder()); $transactionSave->save();}catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) { }
