Print Sales Invoice with Company Logo and Additional Details

In your business, when you make a sale to a buyer, you would certainly need to handover the sales invoice to the buyer. While printing the invoice for the buyer, you might want to include specific details of sales, depending on your company policies or the buyer’s requirements. Using TallyPrime, you can print an invoice with the Company Logo, item details, delivery address, party details and many more, including the GSTIN details, as needed. Moreover, considering the increasing printing expenses in businesses, TallyPrime makes it printing invoices more convenient and cost-effective, by providing options to optimise printing that can save space and paper.

Say, you sell electronic equipment and have maintained the configuration of each equipment along with the other inventory details. If there comes a requirement of adding the configuration of the equipment in the sales invoice from one of the buyers, you can do so while printing the sales invoice. Similarly, you can add the motor capacity of an appliance, the warranty offered on the item, and so on in the sales invoice while printing. It can also happen that your party might want the details of the delivery destination mentioned in the sales invoice, which you can include in the sales invoice before printing. If your buyer and shipping address are different, you can print both addresses in the invoice. TallyPrime handles all such invoicing needs and more.

Update invoice title: TallyPrime provides you with the option to update the title and subtitle of your invoice, based on your business requirement. Once you configure the invoice title, it remains the same for the rest of the invoices, until edited by you.

Print with Company details: You can print the details of your company in your sales invoice including the name of your company, company logo, and so on to enhance the familiarity of your business amongst your customers.

Optimise printing to save paper: Say, you have multiple items to be printed in the invoice. You can set your Invoice Print size to accommodate all the information in a single paper. This can help you save paper.

Print invoice with goods/services details: If you are dealing with multiple items, you can add the descriptions for these items or service details in the printed invoices for the buyer’s reference. You can also add descriptions for your ledgers and stock items.

Print with export details: While exporting goods, you can mention the goods/service details in your invoice for the convenience of your parties. You can include details such as marks or container numbers, the number of packages sold, and so on, for reference purposes.

Additional printing preferences: In TallyPrime, you can also explore the additional printing preferences, as mentioned below:

Along with a regular invoice, you can also print Proforma Invoice in TallyPrime.
You can also enable the option to print invoices immediately after the voucher is saved.
You can mention the Declaration/Terms & Conditions in the invoice to keep your parties updated about your business ethics and practices.
