Printing FTA tax invoices and vouchers

What you will be able to do when you finish: name every form the UAE print pack ships and say which record each one prints from, set the two TRNs so that neither prints blank, give each VAT rate its own tax group so the summary breaks down by rate instead of printing one combined row for review, read the UAE VAT category column and fix it on the tax rather than on the form, duplicate a shipped template and make the copy your default, and say in one sentence why the theme bridge cannot change a figure on the VAT 201.

Who this is for. You print customer-facing documents for a UAE company — invoices, vouchers, a statement of account — and you would like them to come out right the first time. This is a Basic course. It assumes you can open a customer invoice and press Print. It does not assume you have ever opened a report template, edited a tax, or heard the word paperformat.

How to follow along. Two modules are in scope and you can follow the whole course inside your own database. odoone_print_l10n_ae is the UAE print pack: it ships the forms. odoone_l10n_ae_report_theme is the theme bridge: it re-skins the two UAE tax reports so they match the rest of the reporting suite, and it installs itself. Nothing here has to be configured before you can print, although Lessons 2 to 4 cover three settings that decide whether what you print is any good. Cheque layouts and millimetre calibration belong to course 5.3 and are not repeated here.
