Customizing your template

Now, let’s take a look at what kind of information you can have in your templates.

The process of disabling or enabling some fields is quite straightforward. Turning off the corresponding checkbox will make the item disappear from your template.

As mentioned above, there are 3 types of templates you can create in Stock&Buy – Invoice template, Packing slip template, and Purchase order template.

Templates are divided into four sections:

• General settings – Template name, paper size, orientation, title of the document and logo
• Header Fields – Fields like ship to address or order information like number, due date, etc.
• Columns – Columns that hold information about your products (SKU, barcode, tax rate, etc.)
• Footer – Can hold static information that you include in all your documents (e.g. Bank details)

General information and the Footer are identical across all your templates but can contain different information according to the document type.

General settings

General settings contain these properties:

Footer

The Footer is also a field that is identical in all template types. However, the content of the footer is defined by you.

You can use the footer to include static information, such as your bank details or standard information that you share with the recipients of that document type.

You can choose to display the footer on the same page as the order details or on a separate page. To do that, you need to turn off the corresponding checkbox (See item #2 on the screenshot).

Now that we covered the General settings and the Footer, we can review the differences template types have in the Header Fields and Columns. All the properties for different types of documents are listed below.
