We need to create the article in our documentation before merging this PR.

@dpeyou can you create a documentation for this? I don't think we should promote this for the free users, or even provide zip files for the custom documents.

Draft 1.
Feedback please!


More Document Types

The Professional extension of our Invoicing plugin offers access to the following new PDF types:

  • Proforma Invoice
  • Receipt
  • Credit Note

An image showing the document types

Proforma Invoice

This could be used as a secondary or alternate Invoice.
Remember that all document types can be renamed via the plugin settings.

Receipt

Some places require to deliver separate Invoice and Receipt documents. Our plugin is therefore suitable for those cases, as well.

Credit Note

This serves as the Refund document. This could be thought of as an Invoice for refunds, or a Credit Invoice. The reason for the existence of this document, is because we follow GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) - which states that:

Administrative changes should be documented separately. This means that an original invoice should never be modified by a refund. In most countries (at least in the EU) this is even considered fraudulent (and illegal).

Maybe "document types" instead of "PDF types".

@dpeyou Would it be better to put this "Remember that all document types can be renamed via the plugin settings." out of the Proforma section? As it seems to be general for all documents.
