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.
