Printing Sales Invoices
When a sales invoice is "In Progress", you can preview it in PDF format. When a sales invoice is "Complete", you can preview and print it in both HTML and PDF format.
Print a Sales Invoice in HTML Format
- Navigate to the detail page for the sales invoice you want to print. See Viewing Sales Invoice Lists for more information.
- Click Print. If you don't see this button, either switch to Classic Edition or ask your administrator to add this custom button to Extended Edition. A new browser window opens with the contents of the sales invoice in a print-ready format. A print event is logged in the event log
.
- Print the invoice using your browser's Print option. Remember to set an appropriate paper orientation before sending to the printer.
Print a Sales Invoice in PDF format
- Navigate to the detail page for the sales invoice you want to print. See Viewing Sales Invoice Lists for more information.
- Click Print PDF.
- Print the sales invoice using your browser's Print option. Remember to set an appropriate paper orientation before sending to the printer.
View a Print Preview of a Sales Invoice
Without creating a print event in the event log, click Preview (HTML) or View PDF.
When the sales document has a status of "In Progress" and you preview it using the View PDF button, the word DRAFT is shown as a watermark on the PDF. See Customizing the DRAFT Watermark if you want to know how to change the watermark.
Additional Information
If your administrator has enabled any custom fields for printing, an Additional Information section is added to the printed document. See the list of related topics for more information.
Enterprise Billing
If your organization needs to create enterprise billing documents, you cannot use Classic Edition
for this and you must ask your administrator to add a series of custom buttons to your Extended Edition
page layouts. See What is Enterprise Billing? and Customizing Page Layouts (and Search Layouts) for related information.
QR Code for Swiss Companies
Swiss companies benefit from the addition of a QR code which is added to the PDF document. After generating, the QR code is saved in Related | Notes & Attachments. For more information, see Sales Invoice Fields.
