Free text on an invoice line

Support User

There is a way to place free text on a line of an invoice, whether it is purchases or sales.

Yes, you can use the “description” tab.

In my invoice template, I’m using genshi code like this:

<if test="line.product.description">
(<line.product.description>)
</if>
</if>
<if test="line.description">
<for each="description in line.description.split('\n')">
<description>
</for>
</if>

Works for me, HTH.

Cheers,
Wolf

If the description field of the line is filled, it will be displayed on the invoice print.
Now there is also a note field for internal use which is not printed but see Remove comment and note fields (#13144) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab on how it may evolve.

I’m not referring to the description of the invoice itself.
If not, the possibility of being able to write on a line of the invoice, such as this sequence:

Ref.: PC John

  • My items 1
  • My articles 2

Ref.: PC Mary

  • My articles 1
  • My articles 2

See a draft invoice from my system.
I added a description on the second line.
The description is: “This is the description”

I believe Cedric’s reply to be the solution you are looking for.

What Cedric stated is the description of each invoice line.

PS: I have a slightly modified invoice template, but it should work the same on the standard template.

The only thing that happens is that when giving you the description on the line, I necessarily have to specify 3 more pieces of information: what is the quantity, price and account.

The idea that I was saying is that it was simply a plain text without more. It is something that has no price or quantity.

Ok, I’ve done it.

When you go to create a new line, you say in the Type field: “comment” and that’s it. This line only shows the text, without any amount or information.

This is what I wanted.

Thanks for the help.

Indeed the type of line comment can do that.

But this makes me also think about the Product Kit Module which may help you.

Thanks CED.

It’s a good utility that I was also looking for.
