    Banana Accounting Plus offers an innovative and professional method for creating invoices and automatically recording them in the accounting. The proposed tutorial template shows you how to record different types of invoices, from the simplest one to those with multiple items, and to test all the printing functions. If you want to create your own file based on this template, replace the example customer accounts in the Accounts table with your own data, enter the invoice items in the Transactions table, and the invoice is ready to be printed with or without a QR code for Switzerland. Open the template from our WebApp or from the program and save the file on your computer.

    Tutorial with a very simple and short chart of accounts, where we provide some recording examples to create invoices with VAT. The file also includes the Items table, where you can enter the data of the items or services to be invoiced. The data entered in the Items table is automatically retrieved in the Transactions table.
