Setting up Document Printing
Before printing billing documents ensure that the tasks described in this section have been completed on your Salesforce Org Salesforce organization.
Company
Ensure that a company record exists for each company that you want to create billing documents for. In addition:
- Ensure that the company address information is up to date.
- Ensure that the Logo URL field contains the URL to the logo you want to use on invoices for that company. See Setting the Company Logo.
- If your company uses Avalara AvaTax, validate the company address. See Validating Addresses for Sales and Use Tax Calculation.
