Courier invoice format for Customer Support

hello there welcome to this zero training video in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to customize sales invoices on xero accounting software we go to the top left of zero click on the company's name and go down to settings on this page there should be invoice settings for me that shows under features if xero has changed the layout slightly since the creation of this video it might appear under a different heading or maybe somewhere else in this page but it should be on this page invoice settings if you click on that we're taken to the invoice settings screen now the way this works is you create themes for each invoice template that you want to use there's a standard template here you can see the logo and the the settings of that template there's a special projects template here there's a very orange invoice template and there's a test template which I did earlier today there's all these different themes they're called branding themes and then you can use these different themes depending on which customer you're invoicing so you might have different invoice templates for different customers most of the time that's not going to be the case you're just going to have one standard template that you'll use for all customers but there is this option to create all these different templates to create numerous templates to create your template just click on new branding thing and fill in the details now something you'll learn about xero and something that I don't like about xero and I love the software in lots of areas but one area I don't like is the invoice template so it's quite limited if you've been using say QuickBooks online or Sage their invoice templates are a lot more versatile they're not as great on xero basically you name the template or The Branding theme and fill in the details headings what information you want to show if you want the registered address to show that's the company's registered address you want your logo to show or not just fill in all these details it's quite self-explanatory where you want the logo to appear if you want taxes to be exclusive or inclusive and then off you go there are these boxes down here which are really useful to use so this is to add text to the invoice you might want to put something like payment within 30 days please something like that or thank you for your custom be creative but this is how you can add text to your invoices when we're ready we click save I just need to name it let's name it the bookkeeping master template or save the template it will now appear in our list of templates that we can use it's down the bottom here I don't have a logo yet so to add a logo to the invoice template you then use this option here so I click on here and we'll add a logo so I've chosen my file the bookkeeper Master file let's upload that and there we go the logo is now appearing to have a default template you need to add or move the template to the top of the list so whichever template is showing at the top here is the template that's going to be the default template so at the moment this standard template if I create an invoice than the template that will be used is the one showing at the top so if there is a template you're going to be using more than others you need to bring it to the top and you do that by the top left here you can click and drag so if we want bookkeeping Master to be at the top we would just click and drag this and bring it up to the top and then that would be the default template so it's not the easiest to use there we go so that's now my default template as mentioned earlier you can use different templates for different customers and the way you do that is when you create a contact or if you want to edit a contact if we go to 24 locks here we can click on edit so editing or creating a contact there is this sales default tab in here you choose the brand and theme so you choose which template you want to use invoice template for this customer so if bookkeeping Master this is the one I just created with the test the very orange invoice so it could be this customer we're going to use the very orange invoice so I save and close that now every time we create an invoice on zero for 24 locks it will use that template by default so you can assign these different templates two different customers it's quite clever in that sense let's go back to the invoice settings I suggest you just play around with it you know if you don't like what you've created you can just delete it if you need to change the logo or edit something so it could be that we've created this bookkeeper master or perhaps we like the standard template we just need to change a couple of things you can just go here click edit and edit what you need then click save and then you're good to go thank you so much for watching another zero video
