In plain words: Your invoices and receipts are the part of your business that customers keep. Odoo's standard ones are correct but plain, and changing them normally means editing QWeb templates. This module gives you a choice of looks in the company settings: five styles for invoices and quotations, five for Point of Sale receipts, with an accent colour, the amount in words, signature boxes, a barcode and small print.

The six invoice looks: Classic, Modern, Minimal, Bold, Compact and Odoo's Standard, on the same invoice.

The five Point of Sale receipts, printed from the real POS.

Tip: Nothing is changed in your data. Switch the style back to Standard (Odoo) and everything looks like it did before.

Requirements

Settings

In plain words: Open Settings → Receipt & Invoice Styles. The settings belong to each company.

Invoices and quotations on top, Point of Sale receipts below.

Setting	What it does
Style (invoices)	The look of invoices, credit notes and optionally quotations and sales orders.
Accent colour	Used by Modern and Bold and for the amount in words. Empty: the primary colour of your document layout.
Amount in words	Writes the total in words under the totals, in the language of the document.
Signature boxes	Two boxes under the totals: authorised signature and customer signature.
Also for quotations and sales orders	Use the same style, words, signatures and note on the sales documents.
Footer note	A short text under the document. It can be translated into each language.
Style (receipts)	The default for every Point of Sale of the company.
Barcode of the order	Prints the order reference as a barcode at the bottom of the receipt.
Small print	Under the receipt, for example the return policy. It can be translated.

The invoice styles

Style	Look	Good for
Standard (Odoo)	Odoo's own document, untouched.	Keeping things as they are.
Classic	Serif type, boxed tables with grey headers, a ruled title.	Formal businesses, contracts.
Modern	Accent-coloured table header, light stripes, a tinted total.	Most companies.
Minimal	No borders, thin lines, light small-caps headings.	Consultancies, design studios.
Bold	Black table header, strong rules, a big total in the accent colour.	Retail, trade, quick reading.
Compact	Smaller type and tighter rows.	Long invoices with many lines.

In plain words: The header with your logo and address, and the footer, come from Odoo's document layout (Settings → Companies → Configure Document Layout). The styles change the invoice body: the table, the totals and the extras.

Amount in words, signatures and a note

In plain words: Tick what you need. All three appear under the totals, in the language of the document.

Amount in words, signature boxes and a footer note, in the Modern style.

The same invoice for an Arabic-speaking customer: the amount is written in Arabic.

Extra	Notes
Amount in words	Uses Odoo's number-to-text with the document's language, including Arabic. The currency's unit names (Dollars, Cents) come from the currency: translate them under Accounting → Configuration → Currencies if you want them in the document's language.
Signature boxes	Two empty boxes for hand signatures. Good for printed copies.
Footer note	Plain text. It is escaped, so it can never break the page. Translate it for each language.

A quotation in the Bold style: sales documents follow the same style.

Preview before you decide

In plain words: In the settings, Preview with the latest invoice saves your choices and opens your newest invoice as a web page in the chosen style. It is the same document the PDF is made from, so you can try every style in a minute without printing anything.

The Point of Sale receipt styles

Style	Look
Standard (Odoo)	Odoo's own receipt.
Compact	Small type, no logo, tight spacing, notes hidden: more orders per metre of paper.
Classic	Typewriter type, grey-scaled logo and dashed rules around the total, like a thermal till roll.
Modern	Centred header, a big white-on-black total, items count and savings.
Detailed	Ruled sections, a stronger total, items count and savings.

The Detailed receipt on the Point of Sale payment screen.

In plain words: These receipts were produced by running real Point of Sale sessions and paying real orders, then photographing the receipt.

Receipt extras and one style per shop

Extra	What it does
Barcode of the order	A Code 128 barcode of the order reference at the bottom, useful for returns.
Small print	Your text under the receipt, translated by language.
Items	The number of items sold (Modern and Detailed).
You saved	The total of the discounts, when there are any (Modern and Detailed).

In plain words: To give one shop another look, open Settings → Point of Sale, choose the shop at the top and set Receipt style in the Bills & Receipts section. Leave it empty to follow the company.

Receipt style of one Point of Sale. Empty means the company's style.

Printing notes

Subject	Detail
Invoice PDF	Made by Odoo with wkhtmltopdf. The styles use plain CSS that it understands (no grid, no custom properties).
POS receipt	Printed as an image of the receipt, so it looks the same on a browser print, a network printer and an ESC/POS printer.
Paper width	The receipt keeps Odoo's width. Compact is the best choice for 58 mm rolls.
Barcode image	Fetched from your Odoo server when the receipt is shown, so the Point of Sale needs a connection for it.

Limits

Limit	Detail
Header and footer of documents	They belong to Odoo's document layout, not to the styles.
Fonts	The PDF uses fonts available on the server. Classic uses a serif font; if the server has none, a default one is used.
Right-to-left documents	Odoo decides the direction; the styles do not change it.
A fully custom layout	The styles are looks, not a template editor. For a unique layout, extend the QWeb template (chapter 13).
Receipt printers with their own template	Printers that build the receipt themselves, without the image of the receipt, do not use these styles.

For developers

In plain words: Skip this chapter if you only use the module.

Item	Details
Company fields	`tx_invoice_style`, `tx_invoice_accent`, `tx_invoice_amount_words`, `tx_invoice_signatures`, `tx_invoice_note`, `tx_apply_sales`, `tx_receipt_style`, `tx_receipt_barcode`, `tx_receipt_note`.
Invoices	The class `tx-inv-<style>` is added to the invoice body and the CSS comes from `res.company._tx_invoice_css()`. Add your own style to `STYLE_CSS`.
POS	`pos.config` gets `taqnix_style_in_use`; `OrderReceipt` gets `txReceipt`; the receipt has the class `tx-style-<style>`.

// your own receipt look: add CSS for a new style class
.pos-receipt.tx-style-shop {
    font-family: Georgia, serif;
    .pos-receipt-amount.receipt-total { border: 2px solid #000; }
}

# and choose it in Python (selection value 'shop')
env['pos.config'].browse(1).taqnix_receipt_style = 'shop'

Troubleshooting

Problem	What to do
The invoice PDF did not change	Check the style in the settings, and the company of the invoice: each company has its own.
The receipt did not change	Close and reopen the Point of Sale session so it reloads the setting.
A shop shows another style than the company's	That Point of Sale has its own Receipt style. Empty it to follow the company.
The amount in words is empty	The number-to-text library does not support the language, or is missing on the server.
No barcode on the receipt	Tick “Barcode of the order”. It shows only on the final receipt, not while the order is open.
The accent colour is ignored	Use a value such as #1f6feb. Classic, Minimal and Compact do not use the accent colour.

Updating and removing

Replace the folder with the new version, restart Odoo and run -u taqnix_receipt_styles. Your choices are kept. To remove it, uninstall it from Apps: invoices, quotations and receipts go back to Odoo's standard look.

Support

Installation help and bug fixes are included for 6 months, with lifetime updates. Contact us through the marketplace page where you bought the module or write to support@taqnix.com with your Odoo version and a screenshot.
