ERPNext Sales invoice custom Print Format

I have been working on/with ERPNext for some time now, but had never tried to change much in terms of the output formatting – mostly because I was too afraid to mess anything up. I only made minor changes with the format builder/GUI tool, which, I must say – is not intuitive, and which I personally found a bit frustrating.
Anyway – it turns out that setting up custom formatting using Jinja2 is not as terrifying as I thought.

Here’s my 2nd attempt/updated 1st attempt (no longer hard-coded tax-rate), with some commenting within the code to explain what I am doing, and also where/why. The biggest difference between my version and the default, is that I show the excl-VAT, VAT and incl-VAT values separately.

which produces something like this…

  1. Hi there,

    Looks very similar to my template. At the moment I am struggling with the following:
    The customer has a name. The contact of the customer has a company_name. In the invoice I want to print:
    company_name (from contact)
    customer name (from customer)

    My struggle is getting the company_name. Any suggestion how to get?

    Best regars

    1. Not yet – I had to fix a series of (unrelated) server crashes, so I haven’t had a chance to try it. Those are (as of today 27 Aug) now working again, so I will have a crack at the v13 and create a new post or update this one ASAP

  2. Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as
