Description

> I need an invoice number (also for possible other payment plugins) that is compatible to our books (e.g. the correct cost center)

Currently it's hardcoded:

It would be nice to allow some placeholders to be configured, just like we do in payment_manual. There would be an option in the plugin's settings for the default and another one in the plugin's event settings so it can be customized on the event level.

Research direction

Start by locating the payment plugin code that renders the shown hidden invoice input and review how placeholder configuration works in payment_manual. The work is done when a default invoice-number pattern can be configured in plugin settings and overridden in event settings, including the requested cost-center-compatible placeholders.
