POS Invoice Selection
Flexible Ticket & Document Formats
Customize how your customers receive their receipts. Switch between compact POS tickets and full standard invoices with a single click.
What We're Solving
----------------
Format Rigidity
Odoo's default POS is often locked into a single ticket format. Businesses frequently need to provide full A4/Letter size invoices for tax compliance or customer preference without leaving the POS interface.
Selective Printing
Enable operators to choose the most appropriate document format at the moment of sale, improving customer service and operational efficiency.
Setup & User Manual
Comprehensive Guide
1. Configuration Guide (Admin)
Follow these steps to configure the invoice printing format. This is a per-POS configuration.
Step 1: Access POS Settings
- Go to Point of Sale > Configuration > Settings.
- Select the specific Point of Sale you want to configure (e.g., "Shop", "Bar").
Step 2: Define Invoice Format
- Scroll down to the Invoicing section.
- Locate the field labeled Invoice Format.
- Option A (Default): Leave it empty. The system will automatically use Odoo's standard Invoice Report (Account Invoices).
- Option B (Custom): Click the dropdown and select a specific
report (e.g., "Invoices without Payment", "Simplified Invoice"). ANY report
model associated with
account.movewill appear here.
Step 3: Save & Refresh
- Click Save at the top of the settings page.
- Crucial: If a POS session is currently open, the cashier MUST refresh their browser page or close/reopen the session for the changes to take effect.
2. Operating Manual (Cashier Workflow)
How to use the module during daily sales operations:
1. Normal Sale
Process the sale as usual. Select products, select a Customer (Required for Invoicing), and proceed to Payment.
2. Validation
Validate the payment. You will land on the standard Receipt Screen. The standard thermal receipt will be ready to print as usual.
3. Electronic Receipt
Look for the new "Electronic Receipt" button below the standard print button. Click it to generate and download/print the full Invoice PDF configured in the backend.
Pro Tips for Cashiers:
- Reprinting: You can click the button multiple times if the customer needs a duplicate.
- Invoicing is Key: Ensure the order is actually invoiced! If the order (POS Order) does not have a linked Invoice (Account Move), the button will generate a report for the order itself or might alert you. (Standard POS workflow usually creates the invoice upon validation if "Invoice" is selected).
- Speed: Generation happens on the server. A loading spinner will appear. Wait for it to finish (usually 1-2 seconds).
Global Ready | Multi-Language Support

QA / User Testing Scenarios
Enterprise Validation Plan
Scenario 1: Default Configuration (Fallback)
Goal: Ensure the module works even without explicit configuration.
- Go to POS Settings and clear the "Invoice Format" field (set to Empty).
- Open a POS Session and make a sale with "Invoice" selected.
- On the Receipt Screen, click "Electronic Receipt".
- Expected Result: The system should assume the default "Invoices" (account.report_invoice) and print a standard A4/Letter invoice without error.
Scenario 2: Custom Format Switching
Goal: Verify that changing the configuration changes the output.
- Go to POS Settings and change "Invoice Format" to a different report (e.g., "Invoices without Payment" or a custom Studio report).
- Save and Refresh the POS Session page.
- Reprint the invoice from the previous order (using the "Orders" list or making a new sale).
- Expected Result: The downloaded PDF must match the NEW format selected.
Scenario 3: Multi-POS Independence
Goal: Ensure configurations do not leak between shops.
- Configure Shop A to use "Format X".
- Configure Shop B to use "Format Y".
- Make sales in both shops.
- Expected Result: Shop A generates PDF X, and Shop B generates PDF Y.
Scenario 4: Network Error Handling
Goal: Verify robust error handling.
- Disconnect internet (simulate offline).
- Click "Electronic Receipt".
- Expected Result: The system should show a "Connection Lost" or "Server Error" popup, but NOT crash the POS interface. The user should be able to try again once reconnected.
FAQ & Troubleshooting
Common Resolutions
Print button not appearing?
Reason: The session might need a refresh or the configuration was not saved correctly.
Fix: Close and reopen the POS session to reload the new settings.
Why am I getting a standard ticket instead of an invoice?
Reason: You clicked the standard "Print Receipt" button. The specific feature of this module is triggered via the "Electronic Receipt" button below it.
Fix: Use the dedicated button generated by this module.
Does it work offline?
Reason: Full invoice PDF generation requires Odoo Server processing (QWeb).
Note: You need an active internet connection to generate the PDF. If offline, print the thermal receipt and generate the PDF later from the backend.
Can I use a custom report?
Answer: Yes!
Detail: Any report created with Odoo Studio or code that targets the `account.move` model will automatically appear in the configuration dropdown.
