To finde the correct placeholders you use the WYSIWYG mode. From there you can copy the values in your template in code view.
The placeholders you mention in your message for me do not seem correct.
Mind that you have to create the template for the correct entity as well. For example, if you choose invoice and look for the invoice number, the placeholder will be {{number}}.

yes but i didn't have any reference to invoice.something
its a basic field : fieldManager/scope=Invoice&field=numberA

you should use only {{numberA}} in your pdf template. i have just tested it and it works fine.

not sure what you mean. but if you have evenement then you can do something like this {{evenement.name}} you can access the attributes of the evenement entity.

i hope this help.

yes that i write ... but return nothing it's empty
did you validation that i need relationship and its in good way ?

[rabii]

sorry i don't understand what you mean ? 

Validation is not required here as long as the the current invoice is linked to an evenement then you should be able to access attributes of the later one.

i think i uderstand a little (i didn'tcreate the CRM model ... sorry)
"subscription event" how referent to an "event entity" how reference some "product" (generic name not realy usable in invoice)
user select event and options in "subscription event" and that create an invoice with product
i don't understan how i can display of event entity in "invoice"
