Customize Invoice
One of the issues on the invoice here in Australia is that we have a choice of having the invoice display incorrectly or insufficiently.
Currently, the invoice line item displays as:
Item, Description, Quantity, Unit Cost, Net Amount, GST Rate, Total GST
This is wrong for a number of reasons...
1. The GST Rate is always the same and doesn't require display
2. The last column lists only the tax total, not the item cost with tax (or GST inc as we call it). GST inc. is what is supposed to be in the last column...
If the column data was an object and therefore editable, and able to be re-positioned, it would allow us to have proper invoices in whatever country we are in.
For us in Australia, it would be preferable to have the layout be:
Item, Description, Quantity, Unit Cost, Net Amount, GST Amount, GST Inc (net amount including GST)
We’ve added a number of column configurations to support this using the tags in the templates system. Here’s our article on it: http://feedback.repairshopr.com/knowledgebase/articles/741219-customizing-invoice-template-for-non-us-users

We are still experiencing this problem and the invoice columns need adjusting for us. The Tax at the end row makes it very complicated for our clients to read.

Hi, I'm with Charles with this one the way the invoices are displayed for us here in Australia are very different to the way they are currently displayed even after the mods yous have made, it still needs work
is there a way we can send an example of how we display our invoices?

Sorry, I meant the last column, not row...

The problem is that only the column names can be edited, not the column position (or data). The way it ends up is rather bizarre for us here. What we have in the last row is a tax total, not an amount (including tax) for the item. I have received the dreaded "unprofessional" comment on a few occasions as a result...
