Manual Page Breaks For Sales And Invoice Lines
Insert manual page break lines in quotations, sales orders, and invoices to control where printed PDFs split.
Developed by 2BIT Digital GmbH — your Swiss Odoo partner for payroll, accounting, eCommerce, manufacturing and custom business solutions.
Overview
Sales and billing users can control the printed document layout by adding page break lines directly in document lines — just like adding a section or a note.
Page break lines are transferred from the sales order to the invoice and appear as a visible line in the Odoo form view. In the printed PDF the line triggers a new page at that exact position.
Business Impact
Why You Need This Module
Long quotations and invoices often need a clean page break before a product group, section, or important note. Without a manual break, Odoo paginates automatically and the result may look unprofessional.
Which Problems It Solves
- Uncontrolled automatic page breaks in printed quotations and invoices
- Manual PDF editing after document generation
- Difficult layout control for long sales and billing documents
Key Benefits For Sales And Billing Teams
- Place page breaks exactly where needed — between any two document lines
- Page breaks transfer automatically from sales order to invoice
- Visible as a clear horizontal line in the Odoo form view
- Works on quotations, confirmed sales orders, and invoices
How It Works
- Open a quotation, sales order, or invoice.
- Click Add a Page Break at the bottom of the lines list.
- Drag the page break line to the desired position between product lines.
- Print the document — the PDF starts a new page at that position.
- When creating an invoice from a sales order, page breaks are transferred automatically at the correct position.

Page Break Position in the Printed Quotation PDF
The printed PDF starts a new page exactly where the page break line was placed in the quotation.
Page Break on a Confirmed Sales Order
Page break lines remain visible on confirmed sales orders and are transferred to the invoice at the correct position.
Page Break on an Invoice
Page breaks can also be added manually on invoices. The line appears between invoice lines and triggers a new page in the printed PDF.
