When the plugin is used in combination with YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor, the automatic generation of invoices will be disabled. The only way to create a new document, invoice or shipping document, is manually through the specific buttons you find in WooCommerce > Orders or in order detail page.
For what concerns users, the various documents can be downloaded from My Account > Orders. Administrator and/or vendor related to the order must generate the document to allow the user to have access to it. The customer will get one invoice for each vendor suborder that is generated for his/her purchase.
