Modifying
and Saving document templates |
You can design all your documents. E.X.-NGN will stop you only when you try to delete mandatory information such as 'description and amount' or 'item, quantity, rate and amount' or when you are crossing physical boundaries of a page.
You can change fonts and resize text and fields on the document. Once your design is over you can see a preview of the invoice. What you see on the screen will be what you get on paper.
All documents are categorized into Sales, Return of Sales, Purchases, Return of Purchases, Receipts, Payments, Journal Vouchers, Bank Transfer/ Withdrawal/ Deposits and Other categories. Based on the category validations are done for the document templates.
The main advantage of the document designer is that the user can enter the invoice on the actual invoice i.e. what you enter on the screen is what is printed. Secondly, the user can fully customize the documents to the business he/she is in.
