Bill Template Editor

The Bill Template Editor allows you to design and create bespoke Templates for the Bill Entry Activity.


The Bill Entry Activity already has templates designed for various Suppliers.  

They have been designed by TEAM to follow the layout of a bill, so that you can easily take a paper copy of your bill and transfer the information into Bill Entry.

The section shows you how to change templates for current bills but also how to create your own templates for you and your colleagues to use on your database.
