Print format templates

[gunter]

Hello,

With the updates our print formats stopped working. Now we are trying to solve the problem by creating new print formats, but we would like to use the standard print formats as guides.
Unfortunately the standard print formats are not available in the print formats table any more. How can I access them ?

Best,

Gunter

Hi @gunter

It would be great if you could have searched the forums before this, you can search for the standard print formats or use the print format of the Sales Order I have posted in the below post:

Print format Sales order

You can use this print format as a template that we are using in our organisation: This print format would NOT show the discounts given on items, was needed in our company for some reason. This print format would show the discount percentage as a separate line in the next line. I hope that this would help you in implementing the awesome server side print formats.

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback, but my problem is that the standard print formats are not visible in
Settings->Printing and Branding->Print Format
If this is normal I can find something or create something from scratch.

Here is what I have, these are mainly our old printformats and only 5 standard print formats.

1,Sales Invoice Reactable,Sales Invoice,Accounts,No,Server
2,Reactable Sales Invoice,Sales Invoice,Accounts,No,Server
3,Cheque Printing Format,Journal Voucher,Accounts,Yes,Server
4,Payment Receipt Voucher,Journal Voucher,Accounts,Yes,Server
5,Credit Note,Journal Voucher,Accounts,Yes,Server
6,POS Invoice,Sales Invoice,Accounts,Yes,Server
7,Purchase Order Reactable,Purchase Order,Buying,No,Client

Standard ones are auto-generated from the field layout.

You will have to make a new one from scratch.

Hi Experts in print formats…

Ive been trying to get the print formats to look better then the standard templates. I know we can customise them adn done so, but i have 2 isssues.

1. if I need to create a great looking sales invoices eg. https://pixinvent.com/stack-responsive-bootstrap-4-admin-template/html/ltr/vertical-menu-template/invoice-template.html how do I go about this? If someone could do a short video on this would be great. I tried and failed ;(
2. If we have preprinted stationary how do we design the printout to match exactly what we need. Im still working of this by following the POS template example, but still struggling to get it to fit.

I think some more help is required to get the right skill level to be able to fit the business needs. I hope someone has the expertise and free time to create a video tutorial or blog so that we can follow and get ideas on how to move ahead.

Awaiting while continuing to experiment.

@aakvatech

sorry did not get there yet, got busy on other dev projects and had to put erpnext on the back burner for now.
