Kube comes with a preset invoice template that it uses to send charges to your companies for payment. You can also download and customize the Kube default template to create your own template.
You can create both system and property custom templates. System templates are used for all of your properties, and property templates are only used at the property you upload them at. Once you upload a property custom template, Kube uses that template instead of the system template. This article describes adding a custom system template, but the steps are the same for property templates.
NOTE: Depending on your assigned role and permissions, and the version of Kube your organization uses, some or all these menus or services may not be available or displayed.
Modifying the default template
After you download the custom template, you can modify the template as desired. To import data into the template, use the provided Kube tokens (database variables). When you include a token, Kube automatically replaces the token with the corresponding value from Kube, such as the total cost of an amenity charge.
TIPS:
To create a custom invoice template, you need knowledge of Microsoft Word and its Mail Merge function.
To include multiple tokens as part of a table, include the «TableStart: token at the beginning of the tokens used in the table and the «TableEnd: at the end of the tokens used in the table. See the Billing Information section of the Kube invoice template for an example.
You can update existing tokens in Microsoft Word by right-clicking the token and selecting Edit Field from the drop-down list.
Invoice date formats are based on the operator's country.
