How to prepare a template for the Community

Neste artigo

Follow the guidelines for preparing templates and, if needed, ask for our support.

When everything is ready, make sure to also send us your authorization to publish the content, by email. See a sample at the bottom of the page.

Guidelines for preparing templates

  • Remove initial balances from the double-entry template or the income and expenses template.
  • Include sample transactions.
  • Anonymize customer and supplier accounts (Customer One, Customer Two, …, Supplier One, Supplier Two, ...).
  • Include fictional references in the template headers (e.g., Company SA) and for bank accounts.
  • Describe the template from the point of view of a non-expert and, if necessary, instruct the user on how to use it.
  • Send us an email and attach the .ac2 file along with the description and/or instructions on how to use it.

We help you create your template

Whatever your idea for a template, we will help you give it the right visibility. We are happy to dedicate our time and resources to assist you in creating and/or preparing the template to publish in the Community. Request our support by email.

Template license

The template can be shared under the Creative Commons 1.0 Universal license, Creative Commons BY 4.0, or Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0.

These types of licenses are used for non-software content and are necessary to ensure the template can be customized and used by other users. They also allow it to be made available to all users online.

  • Creative Commons 1.0 Universal: you waive copyright on the template you created and dedicate it to the public domain worldwide.
  • Creative Commons BY 4.0: makes the template available with proper attribution, providing a link to the license and indicating if changes were made.
  • Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0: makes the template available with proper attribution, providing a link to the license and indicating if changes were made. Any modifications must be shared under the same original license.

Requirements for publication

The only requirement is to have a valid subscription to Banana Accounting Plus. If you also want to become a Banana Partner, you need the Advanced plan.

Sample authorization for publication

Here is the sample email authorization required to publish your content:

"Dear Banana team,
I authorize the sharing of my content under the Creative Commons 1.0 Universal license and the terms and conditions of the Banana Accounting Plus Community.
I attach the necessary files and request their publication.
Best regards."
