Invoices & printing

Online native receipt printing uses the web receipt workflow so the business’s invoice layout is the reference. Offline receipts are provisional and use a separate local format.

Understand the workflow

Invoice Scheme controls numbers; Invoice Layout controls appearance; Business Location selects which scheme/layout to use; printer/browser settings control physical output. For confirmed online native bills, the original web print flow provides the server’s receipt format. Local offline receipts are provisional and are not the final web invoice. Product barcode labels have their own Products procedure.

PROCEDURE 01

Choose invoice numbering and layout

Where to go Settings → Invoice Settings; Settings → Business Locations

Before you start
Administrator access is required.

Steps

  1. In Invoice Settings, review invoice schemes for numbering/prefixes and invoice layouts for receipt appearance.
  2. Edit the appropriate layout’s header, logo, address/tax labels, visible item columns, footer and paper style.
  3. Assign the intended scheme/layout to the business location. Review browser-versus-receipt-printer settings there.
  4. Preview a sample invoice and test on the actual printer. Check numbering, taxes, totals, margins and long product names.

Check the result
Receipts use the location’s configured format.

PROCEDURE 02

Print a bill or register report

Where to go Bill detail → Preview / Print; Register Details → Print Mini / Print Detailed

Before you start
Connect/configure the printer and choose the correct paper size.

Steps

  1. Open the confirmed bill’s print action. In an online native app, follow the opened original web receipt/print flow and sign in if prompted.
  2. Select the intended printer, paper size and scaling in the browser/system print dialog. Inspect the preview before printing.
  3. For a register, choose Mini for the compact report or Detailed for the fuller report.
  4. If the print fails, reopen the saved bill/report and print it again; do not create another transaction.

Check the result
The existing saved record is printed using its configured online layout.

PROCEDURE 03

Set up a receipt layout and verify paper output

Where to go Settings → Invoice Settings / Business Locations / Receipt Printers

Before you start
Know the connected printer and actual paper size.

Steps

  1. Create or select the invoice layout and review business name/logo, address, tax number, customer fields and line information.
  2. Assign its invoice scheme/layout to the correct Business Location. Check that this outlet is selected for the sample sale.
  3. Open an existing approved sample invoice and preview the original web receipt. Confirm numbering, tax, discount, rounding and total.
  4. Choose the correct printer/paper in the supported browser/system dialog or configured receipt-printer flow.
  5. Print one test and compare it physically to preview. Correct scale/margins/driver before routine printing; a good on-screen preview does not prove the printer is configured.

Check the result
The intended layout prints legibly on the intended paper.

PROCEDURE 04

Reprint a confirmed native bill

Where to go Windows / Android → Previous bills → Preview / Print

Before you start
Be online for the original server receipt format.

Steps

  1. Open the existing confirmed invoice and choose Preview / Print.
  2. Complete the offered web session/authentication if requested, and review the original server receipt.
  3. Use the available system/browser print or PDF action with the configured printer. Supported devices/drivers determine the actual connection options.
  4. Check the invoice reference matches the existing sale. Printing failures should be retried on this invoice, not by selling again.
  5. After offline synchronization, print the confirmed server invoice if needed and distinguish it from the earlier provisional local receipt.

Check the result
A copy of the correct confirmed invoice uses the web format.

IN PRACTICE

A practical example

An outlet can use a receipt roll while another uses A4. Both can bill the same product, but their location-specific layout and printer paper settings must be checked separately.

Common questions

Why does preview differ from paper?

Review printer driver, paper size, scale, margins and browser headers/footers.

Can an offline receipt be identical to a server invoice?

The current offline receipt is marked provisional. Exact original web output needs server confirmation and the online flow.
