Invoice Styles

Tripper has different invoice styles which are configurable by the user.  Each retailer can have its own invoice style, and because each retailer can have separate print queues dedicated to any of its tasks, such as invoices, it is possible to handle separate printers with different paperwork for each retailer.

When creating new bookings, Tripper can separate the booking into two separate bookings, each with suplicated names and address, but with separate products such as flights, accommodation, insurance, etc. to comply with CAA regulations.  These separate bookings will be linked in a group.

Below is a sample of the Style 5 invoice. Remember that each retailer can have its own invoice style, and using the operations print queues can have a different printer configured for its invoices, each loaded with its own stationery. 

Style 5 Invoice

Style 5 is a popular choice because of much built-in flexibility:

Header text for transport sections can be changed by users
Page can be split into two for ATOL receipt requirements
ATOL page can have its own deposit and balance figures, or pass these to page 2
Cancelled passengers are listed within their own section
Page header text can be specified by the user
Separate flight itinerary in case of TOD, extra flights, or extra pre-set information or supplier text
Client address movable up / down or left / right
Text accompanying Deposit, Balance, Extras and Totals configurable by user
Invoice continues on multiple pages until all product printed out

This is a sample of a Style 5 invoice, set for a one-page non-atol receipt:


The settings for this style (in Utils: Setup: Retailers: TAB)
are:I_type: 5,   Flt_sep:  N,  Say_atol:  N, Plus_rows: -2

The following is a 2 page variation triggered by setting Flt_sep: Y.  This takes all the flights, and any accommodation bought from that supplier, and places it on page 1.   All remaining product is placed on page 2.  On page 1, only costs relevant to the main supplier are printed out, with deposit as applicable.  On page 2, insurance is assumed paid for before anything else, with remaining monies assigned to the main supplier's page.  If Credit card charges have been levied, with a supplier of "CCC" or "C.C.C.", then it is assumed that these funds have also been paid.

Below is a close up of the figures at the foot of page 1:

...the following is a close up of the financial information at the foot of page2:

The following is an example of the same 2-page layout but with the setting Say_atol: Y.   This ensures that the first page is treated as an ATOL receipt, under the same rules as above.

The following is a close up of the ATOL text which is on page 1. 

Note that the travel agent name is shown as well; this is taken from the field prn_addr_1 in Utils: Setup: Retailers: TAB.
