Invoices with different language templates Mar 24, 2010

I normally use the English template, but would like to use the German template for one client. However, when I create a new invoice and click "German template," nothing happens. Everything is still in English. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Info entered is saved in the template you choose Mar 24, 2010

Hi Susan,

I just tried this, and created a new invoice using the German template. I noticed the template itself did not appear until I had saved my work on the page-- so you would need to select the template you want to use, then hit the "Save as draft" or "Save" button, and there you'll see the info in that template. There may be a way to make this a bit more intuitive, or skip the step of having to save to see the template before starting, I'll check.

Wrong automatic numbering Mar 31, 2010

This has been an issue in the past that was resolved, but now it seems to have resurfaced. I converted my drafts into open invoices, and the numbering / sequencing of invoice numbers went everywhere. The first two invoices were correctly numbered, then came two invoices with the same number, then another correct one, and then finally five invoices with the same number. I didn't notice this until I was done sending and printing all 13 invoices, so I had to turn off the auto-increment feature, man... See more

I didn't notice this until I was done sending and printing all 13 invoices, so I had to turn off the auto-increment feature, manually alter all invoices, and then send them anew.

Additionally, here's the topic field from the last invoice that I sent today: "WWV0IGFub3RoZXIgaW52b2ljZSwgSU5WLTIwMTAvMzEgZnJvbSBQZXIgQmrDuHJuYXIgUmlpc2U"

Thanks, Jared, I missed your reply by forgetting to tell the system I was "watching" this thread. I tried it and it works fine. But it certainly is not intuitive!

customized invoice name: suffix? Apr 2, 2010

Hi,

I think it is can be useful (for both the client and the translator) to include the translator's name and the PO/project number are included in the invoice name.

At present we can only add a prefix to the invoice's name and the actual invoice number would always come at the end of the name.
I think it would be great to be offered the possibility to add a suffix, so the above project-related data can be included in the name, while keeping the invoice no. at t

I think it would be great to be offered the possibility to add a suffix, so the above project-related data can be included in the name, while keeping the invoice no. at the beginning of the same.

To the Proz team: many thanks and congratulations for this tool!

Automatic numbering still an issue Apr 9, 2010

Seems there's still some problems with this feature. I told the program to start automatic numbering again at invoice # 37, but when I converted the first invoice to be sent, the program inserted the invoice # 10 instead.

By the way, this issue started recently.

Page format for window envelopes Apr 17, 2010

Hi there

my problem is that I do not send bills electronically. The invoice program contains no method for printing envelopes, and so I would like to use window envelopes rather than write the address by hand. However, the positioning of the invoice recipient address does not match the position of the window on a standard window envelope. Can I customise the invoice to get this right (I have no idea about html formating so please don't send me there!)

regards

Problems inserting taxes Apr 24, 2010

I am trying to create a custom Italian template and am having terrible problems.
I have inserted the taxes I pay into the appropriate section, but they are not displayed properly in the invoice Itself.

The Italian template provided does not fit my needs (I am VAT exempt), yet I cannot seem to creat a custom one.

I want to be able to list the total price of my services + 4% INPS, then subtotal of these, minus 20% ritenuta d'acconto, display VAT as 0%, then the end

Is this possible?
