Every printed invoice carries the identity you save in Settings ▸ Company Profile. The cards are Legal Identity, Address & Contact, Print Header & Footer, Bank Details, VAT Return Identity, UAE E-Invoice Identity, Print Assets and Header Preview. If you are VAT-registered, type your TRN: exactly 15 digits. It prints on tax invoices and POS receipts and in the header of exported sheets.

Print Assets

  • Logo: used by templates and the header of exported PDF files. Not every standard layout includes it; add it in the Document Designer where you want it.
  • Header Image and Footer Image: a full-width letterhead picture printed on every invoice, quotation and voucher by default.
  • Company Stamp and E-Signature: available to templates.
The Company Profile screen with the logo, stamp and signature print assets and the bank line printed on documents.

Settings, Company Profile: logo, stamp, signature and the bank line.

Settings, Company Profile: logo, stamp, signature and the bank line.

Bank line

Bank Name, Branch, Account No, IBAN and SWIFT are joined into one bank line, which the standard layouts print at the foot of money documents. IBAN and SWIFT are saved in capitals and not validated, so read them twice. Branch here is the name of your bank branch, not a Zeyto branch.

Print Stationery

Header image on lets you choose Every page or the First page only. The footer image always prints on every page. Header height is the letterhead zone in millimetres; 0 sizes it from the picture. For pre-printed paper it is the blank space at the top. Primary colour repaints every standard print template together with its lighter tints; templates you edited and saved yourself keep their own colours. The choice applies to the printed page, the PDF and the e-mailed PDF.

Discounts on printed documents

Settings ▸ Company Profile also holds Discounts on Printed Documents. Show prints line discounts and the document discount as entered. Hide takes the discount off the printed prices instead: each line shows its net price, the sub-total equals the taxable amount and the page still adds up. Nothing changes in the books, only the print.

  • A customer or supplier can be set to Default, Always show discounts or Never show discounts, and that wins over the company default.
  • A single document can carry its own choice, which wins over both.
  • The same choice applies to receipt and payment vouchers.
Hiding a discountA line of 10 units at AED 100.00 has a 10% discount. With Show, the line prints 10 × 100.00, discount 100.00, taxable 900.00. With Hide, the line prints 10 × 90.00 = 900.00 and no discount row. VAT at 5% is 45.00 either way, and the total is 945.00.
Watch outA discount given after tax is never hidden. It lowers what the customer pays and the taxable value and VAT are worked out again on the lower total. For example 1,050.00 less 50.00 becomes 1,000.00 including VAT, which is taxable 952.38 plus VAT 47.62. It prints as Total before discount, Discount (after tax) and Amount payable.

There is also a switch to print each item's long description under its line on tax invoices, quotations and proformas. It is off by default.
