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.

<style>
   /* My personal syle abbreviations to use minimal characters while coding the HTML portions*/
   /*.bd0 {   border: 1px dotted red;   padding: 0px;}*/
   .lf  {   text-align: left;}
   .cn  {   text-align: center;}
   .rt  {   text-align: right;}
   .vt  {   vertical-align: top;}
   .vc  {   vertical-align: middle;}
   .vb  {   vertical-align: bottom;}
   .xs  {   font-size: x-small;}
   .sm  {   font-size: small;}
   .md  {   font-size: medium;}
   .lg  {   font-size: large;}
   .xl  {   font-size: x-large;}
   .xxl {   font-size: xx-large;}
   .b   {   font-weight: bold;}
   .bb  {   font-weight: bolder;}
   .i   {   font-style: italic;}
   .u   {   text-decoration: underline;}
   .bd0 {   border: 1px dashed;}
   .bd1 {   border: 1px dotted;}
   .bd2 {   border: 2px solid;}
   .blk {   color: black;}
   .lgr {   color: lightgrey;}
   .lblu{   color: lightblue;}
   .blu {   color: blue;}
   .grn {   color: green;}
   .red {   color: red;}
   .ylw {   color: yellow;}
   .org {   color: orange;}
   .ord {   color: orangered;}
   .prp {   color: purple;}
   .lim {   color: lime;}
   .spacer {   color: white;   font-weight: bold;}

   .print-format table, .print-format tr, 
   .print-format td, .print-format div, .print-format p {
      //font-family: Monospace;
      vertical-align: middle;
      font-family: "Roboto", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
      -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
      -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
      padding: 0px;
      z-index: 10;
   }
   @media screen {
      .print-format {
         padding: 10mm;
      }
   }
</style>

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
Sam

Hi all,

Has anyone tried this on V13?

  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
