Invoice Layouts

Invoice layouts are extensions of Banana Accounting Plus that manage the printing of invoice data. To print the invoice, you need to choose a layout.

Install the invoice layout extension

In order to use a layout extension for printing the invoice, it must first be installed locally.

Go to the Extensions menu > Manage Extensions > Invoices
- You can also choose the layout from the Report menu > Customers > Print invoices, button Other layouts...
Choose the layout you want to use and click the Install button.

Once a layout is installed, it will appear in the Print Invoice dialog and can be selected for printing.

There are some accounting or Offer and Invoice file templates that use predefined layouts already set in the File Properties > Miscellaneous dialog, and they are installed automatically when the file is opened.

Customizing the invoice printout

You can adapt the invoice printout and also create exports in other formats. See the page:

Recommended invoice layout extensions for Banana Accounting Plus

The two invoice layout extensions listed here, CH10 and UNI11, are the most advanced. They allow for greater customization and can only be used in Banana Accounting Plus (they do not work in earlier versions). The two layout extensions have similar features. The CH10 layout additionally allows printing the QR code for Switzerland.

CH10 layout recommended for invoicing in Switzerland (with or without QR code)
UNI11 layout recommended for invoicing in other countries

Banana 9 Layouts (no longer current)

The old layouts for Switzerland from CH01 to CH09 also allowed printing PVR payment slips.
The old international layouts from UNI01 to UNI08 were similar but without printing the PVR slip.

These layouts are no longer current.

Attention:
The PVR payment slip is no longer accepted in Switzerland as of October 1, 2022 and has been replaced by the QR Code.
Banana 9 layouts CANNOT create the QR code. If you need the QR code, visit the page The Swiss QR Code of Banana Accounting Plus.
