Templates and settings

New layouts

In the new Banana Accounting Plus version, two new highly customizable layouts have been added:

• The CH10 layout for all users in Switzerland (with or without QR invoice)
• The UNI11 layout for all users in other countries.

We advise you to switch now to Banana Accounting Plus and take advantage of the many new features.

Predefined Templates

Several templates for invoicing, sending reminders and reports are available in the program. Printing characteristics are different for each template. 

There are some layouts that display amounts with VAT included and others that display amounts net of VAT and add VAT separately to the total.

You can install or remove the templates through menu Account2 -> Customers -> Print Invoices -> Other templates or menu Apps -> Manage Apps.

Change template parameters

For each template some parameters can be set up and changed, such as including (or not) of a header, ISR payment slip (Switzerland only), modifying text- or background colors. Here is how to proceed:

• Menu Account2 -> Customers -> Print invoices
• In the Print section ->  Layout, choose the preferred template from the list
• Click on the Parameters button to define your preferences.

Select a different template

• Menu Account2 -> Customers -> Print invoices
• In the Print section ->  Layout, choose the preferred template from the list

Update predefined templates

The default templates are being updated automatically, or you can force the update through the menu Apps -> Manage Apps... -> Update Apps.

Create your own customized invoice

To create an invoice App you need programming knowledge, javascript language.

Banana allows you to modify the layout of your invoice; if none of the predefined templates matches your needs, you may create your own by customizing an existing one or by creating one from scratch.
