# Set up invoice templates
## Overview
Caspen includes a **standard invoice template** by default. This template is used for invoices unless you select a different one.
You can:
* Edit the standard invoice template.
* Create additional templates for different clients, funders, or services.
* Choose which template to use when you create an invoice.
***
## **Add an invoice template**
1. Go to **Settings** → **Invoice templates**.
2. Click **Add invoice template**.
3. Enter the details for your new invoice template.
> See the [Invoice template field reference](#invoice-template-field-reference) below for details about each field.
4. Click **Create** (top-right corner).
### Invoice template field reference
Use the fields below to customize what appears on your invoice templates. The letters (A–F) correspond to the sections marked in the example invoice.
| Field | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A. Show item code | Displays the line item code on the invoice. |
| B. Show linked event | Displays the event related to the invoice (for example: *For* *appointment: Nov 8, 2025, 5:14 PM*). |
| C. Show logo |
Displays the location logo. If no location logo is set, Caspen will use the account logo. If neither is available, the business name will display instead.
Note: In preview mode, the account logo (or business name) is displayed if no location is linked. Actual invoices use the location logo when available.
|
| D. Show NDIS number | Displays the client’s NDIS number if it is saved (Australia-specific). |
| E. Memo |
A short message or note that appears above the line items.
Example memo: “Thank you for your continued support.”
|
| F. Footer |
Text that appears below the line items (for example, payment details, refund policy, or thank-you note).
Example footer: “Payment due within 7 days. BSB: 123-456, Account No: 12345678.”
