Invoice Template - Payer 1 Not Printing
This article provides troubleshooting steps when invoices generated from printing templates do not include Payer 1 information, even though both Payer 1 and Payer 2 appear correctly in the template configuration.
Symptoms
- Invoice output generated via Printing templates does not print the Payer 1 information.
- Payer 1 and Payer 2 fields are correctly populated and visible in the printing template setup or preview.
- Only Payer 2 (or other payer details) appear on the printed or generated invoice, while Payer 1 is missing from the final output.
Cause
This behaviour occurs when Tax Overrides are misconfigured in the environment. Specifically, if the Tax Overrides under Environment Settings > Finance Settings > Sale Related are not set to valid values such as GST or GST-free, the system may fail to correctly render Payer 1 information on the invoice output.
Resolution
Update the Tax Overrides configuration so that applicable items are set to GST or GST-free in the Sale Related finance settings.
Steps to resolve
- Navigate to Environment Settings.
- Go to Finance Settings.
- Open the Sale Related section.
- Locate the Tax Overrides configuration.
- For each relevant item, verify the tax setting:
- If the tax should apply, set the override to GST.
- If the item should be tax exempt, set the override to GST free.
- Save the changes to the Tax Overrides settings.
- Re-generate or re-print the invoice using the same printing template.
Verification
- Generate a test invoice using the same Printing template previously affected.
- Confirm that Payer 1 details now appear correctly on the printed or generated invoice.
- Confirm that the tax calculations on the invoice align with the GST or GST-free configuration applied in Tax Overrides.
Notes
- Changes to Tax Overrides affect how tax is applied to future invoices; review with finance or compliance stakeholders before changing existing configurations.
- If Payer 1 information is still missing after confirming Tax Overrides, review the printing template fields and mapping to ensure Payer 1 fields are correctly referenced.
