== Setting the Default Invoice Layout ==
+
[https://resources.emersion.com/display/EKB/Invoice+Layouts Take me to the Emersion Knowledge Base article]
The default invoice template layout is set for each customer account that is created. This can be overridden either when the customer is created, or later on under the [[Account_Management/Customer_Screen/Details|'''Customer > Details''' section]]. Once an end user has a default invoice template layout set, a PDF invoice can be generated for them.  
 
  
To set the default invoice layout
+
[[file:new_home_sm.jpg|900px]]
 
 
'''Nav: Admin > My Invoice Template > Invoice Layouts'''
 
 
 
# The ''Invoice Layout Info List'' screen will be displayed.
 
# Check the radio button of the layout that is to be the default for all customers.
 
 
 
A confirmation message will appear advising the user that the default invoice template has been set.

# When you are finished, click the '''Save Layout''' button.
 
 
 
Once the new layout is saved, the user will be taken to the ''Logos and Colours'' sub tab of the new invoice layout.
 
 
 
'''!! IMPORTANT !!''' If you have previously customised an invoice layout with header and payslip logos, they will be available to this invoice layout in other sections (such as custom message). While they are available to choose from, they are not used used in a layout until they are explicitly selected. Deleting an image from an invoice layout will remove it from ALL layouts.

=== Cost Centre ===
 
Cost centre settings require the service provider to subscribe to the cost centre module.

AusPost BillPay settings require:
 
 
 
* the service provider to be an Australia Post Billpay "biller".
 
This is defined as an organisation or business, which has agreed with Australia Post to accept payments via Post Billpay so that their customers can pay their bills via the Billpay service. 
 
 
 
* Emersion to process a data feed.
 
This is available upon request and service providers will incur a fee for Emersion to set up processing of the data.
 
 
 
Once the above two points are finalised, enter your '''Aust Post BillPay Biller Code''' into the field.

Call itemisation settings provide the ability to define how much (or how little) of the usage should be itemised on the invoice.
 
 
 
Tariffs that are added to the call itemisation list will be summarised in the '''Package Summary''' section of the invoice and will '''not''' be itemised.
 
 
 
To add a tariff to the call itemisation list:
 
 
 
# Choose the '''Service Type Category''' from the list available.
