Invoice (light) is a simplified version of the standard invoice printout. It shows the same basic information as the full invoice — customer and address, invoice number, item lines (item number, text, quantity, price, discount and VAT), payment lines and totals as well as company information — but in a more compact layout.
The printout is used when you want to send or hand out an invoice in a simpler form, where the same figures and lines are included, but on a more manageable page.
The printout is always generated from the selected invoice and has no user-selected parameters. Content such as logo, watermark, header and footer texts as well as the display of VAT and discount is controlled by your general print and invoice settings and not at the individual printout.
Invoice (light) is available as a PDF.
1. Go to Sales and open Invoices. 2. Open the invoice you want to print. 3. Click the printer icon in the top right corner. 4. Select the light version of the invoice printout (Invoice (light)) in the print dialog.
The invoice (light) also has a long range of settings that control its appearance and behaviour but are not shown in the print dialog. They can be turned on/off or adjusted by support per company. If you want the invoice customized, contact support and refer to the relevant setting below. The technical name of each setting is shown in parentheses.
