New PDF Invoice Settings – More Control Over Zero-Amount Invoices & Timestamps
We’ve extended our PDF invoice settings, giving you more control over how invoices are generated and displayed. Previously, zero-amount invoices and timestamps were always autogenerated for compliance and record-keeping. Now, these settings are enabled by default if you use PDF invoices, but you can disable them if they are not needed.
Why Disable These Settings?
Zero-Amount PDF Invoices
You might choose to disable zero-amount invoices to:
✅ Reduce unnecessary customer communication – Avoid confusion from invoices showing €0.00 when no payment is due.
✅ Minimize email & notification overload – Prevent automated invoice emails for non-billable transactions.
✅ Keep accounting & reporting clean – Focus financial records on revenue-generating transactions.
✅ Avoid e-invoicing costs – If you pay per generated invoice, disabling zero-amount invoices helps control costs.
✅ Optimize subscription & usage-based billing – Skip invoices for free trials, discounts, or prepaid credits when they are not needed.
Timestamps on PDF Invoices
You might choose to disable timestamps to:
✅ Keep invoices clean & minimal – Remove unnecessary details for a simpler invoice format.
✅ Avoid conflicts with internal systems – If your ERP, CRM, or accounting system already tracks invoice creation times, timestamps on PDFs may be redundant.
✅ Ensure regulatory or compliance flexibility – Some regions do not require timestamps, so turning them off can help standardize invoice formatting.
👉 To disable these settings, go to Configurations → Finance and Accounting → Invoice and Credit Notes → PDF Invoice Settings.
