Invoices play an important role in how businesses communicate transaction details to customers. For businesses, a clear and professional invoice helps present essential information in an organised format. However, a standard layout may not always suit every business’s branding or documentation needs.
TallyPrime 7.1 addresses this challenge by offering greater flexibility in invoice personalisation, helping businesses adapt invoice presentation to their specific requirements.
What Is Invoice Customisation?
Invoice customisation means adjusting the appearance and information displayed on an invoice to meet your business requirements. Instead of using a standard layout for every transaction, you can personalise the invoice design with your branding and relevant business details.
TallyPrime 7.1 introduces expanded invoice personalisation options. You can choose a pre-designed template and modify its appearance to suit your preferences. This is useful for businesses that want professional invoices without designing every document from scratch.
What’s New in TallyPrime 7.1 Invoice Customisation?
One of the key changes in TallyPrime 7.1 is the increased choice of pre-designed invoice templates.

| Template selection | Limited choice | Visual template browsing |
| Branding | Existing invoice presentation | More personalisation options |
| Design controls | Earlier format options | Fonts, sizes and colours |

How to Customise an Invoice in TallyPrime 7.1
1. Choose a Template
Open the sales invoice printing screen and select the Change Template option. Browse the available designs visually and choose a template that suits your business.
Pre-designed templates provide a starting point for customisation. You can select a suitable layout before adding your branding and other details.
2. Add Your Company Logo
Your company logo helps customers identify your business when they receive an invoice. TallyPrime 7.1 supports multiple logos, allowing you to personalise invoice presentation according to your requirements.
You can also replace standard headers with custom images. This helps you create a consistent visual identity across your business documents.
3. Add Addresses and Signatures
Businesses may need different addresses for different operations. TallyPrime 7.1 supports multiple addresses, helping you adapt invoice presentation to your business needs.
You can also include signatures in a saved template. If your invoice design uses a footer image, you can incorporate that as well. These options help organise important business information within the invoice layout.
4. Insert Watermarks and Images
Watermarks can help reinforce your brand identity on business documents. TallyPrime 7.1 allows you to insert watermarks as text or images.
You can also add header images and footer images to personalise the design. Consider using these elements carefully so that the invoice remains readable and essential transaction information stays clear.
5. Customise Fonts and Colours
TallyPrime 7.1 gives you control over fonts, font sizes and colours. You can use these options to align your invoice appearance with your brand guidelines.
For example, you might choose a consistent font for headings and use your company’s colours for selected design elements. The aim is to create a professional layout without making important invoice details difficult to read.
How to Add Custom Fields in TallyPrime 7.1
Different businesses need different information on their invoices. A standard layout may not accommodate every operational requirement.
TallyPrime 7.1 supports creating custom fields relevant to your business and mapping them to existing Tally fields. This helps you personalise invoice information beyond basic visual changes.
Before configuring custom fields, identify the information your business needs to display. Confirm the appropriate field mapping and ensure that the information appears correctly in the final invoice.
Customisation should support accurate documentation rather than introduce unnecessary information or duplicate existing fields.
Add Terms and Conditions in TallyPrime 7.1
Terms and conditions explain important transaction details, such as payment expectations, delivery arrangements or other agreed business requirements.
TallyPrime 7.1 allows you to add detailed terms and conditions in a click. Including relevant terms in your invoice template helps present this information consistently.
For businesses, ensure that the wording reflects your actual commercial agreements and applicable requirements. Invoice personalisation alone does not guarantee tax compliance. Verify the required invoice information against the relevant local rules.
Save Your Default Template in TallyPrime 7.1
After completing your customisation, save your changes and set the selected template as the default for your invoices.
This helps maintain a consistent invoice appearance without requiring you to select the design each time. It can also reduce repeated template setup when your business regularly issues invoices using the same layout.
Review the saved design before using it for routine transactions. Check the logo, addresses, custom fields, signatures and terms and conditions to ensure everything appears as intended.
Benefits of TallyPrime 7.1 Invoice Customisation for Businesses

Business-Specific Information
Create custom fields and map them to existing Tally fields. This allows you to include relevant business information in invoices according to your operational and documentation requirements.
Reduced Repetitive Setup
Save your customised invoice template and set it as the default. This helps maintain consistent invoice formatting and reduces the need to select your preferred design repeatedly.

When Do You Need Tally Support?
Built-in template options may be sufficient for businesses that need straightforward branding and layout changes. However, more specialised requirements may need technical assessment before implementation.
For example, you may need assistance determining how a custom field should map to an existing Tally field or how to configure an invoice for a particular business process.
