Experimental settings

Behaviour we are still trialling — performance options for long documents, extra download formats, and how tax identifiers and QR codes are placed. Each is safe to leave off.

What experimental settings are

Experimental settings are options we are still trialling. Each one has a standard setting that suits most businesses, and each is safe to leave alone.

Some of them already change your documents. Others only record your choice ahead of the feature behind them. This article says which is which.

Where to find them

  1. 1Open Business Settings and choose Accounting.
  2. 2Scroll down and click Experimental to open it.
  3. 3Each row has a switch or a list on its right. A change is saved the moment you make it; there is no Save button.
The Experimental part of the Accounting tab, with the tab, the section heading and the first switch marked.

Settings that work today

  1. 1Apply number format to discounts: a discount typed on a line is kept to the decimal places of your number format, the same way a quantity or a rate can be.
  2. 2Configure e-invoice & QR code placement: choose In document details or Beside document title to decide where the QR code sits on a document.
The lower rows of the Experimental part, with the Apply number format to discounts switch and the QR code placement list marked.

Good to know. The placement only matters once QR codes are switched on, under Add QR Codes to Documents on the same tab. QR codes are part of a paid plan.

Faster editing and Excel

  • Optimise invoice performance with scrollable line items: on a long document, the line items scroll in their own box while you edit, and lines out of view are not drawn, so typing stays quick.
  • Optimise invoice performance with line item calculations: amounts and totals catch up a moment after you type rather than on every key, which keeps a document with many lines responsive.
  • Enable document Excel download: Download / Print on an invoice, quotation or any other document gets Download Excel — its number, both parties, every line with its columns and the totals, as the PDF has them, with figures as numbers you can add up.

What prints on documents

These two apply to documents saved after you change them, as every printed detail does. Open a document and save it again to bring it up to date.

  • Hide currency code in totals: amounts print with the currency's symbol (₹1,050.00) and the total as Total, rather than INR 1,050.00 and Total (INR).
  • Visibility of GST & PAN: choose whether your GSTIN (or TRN) and PAN print under Billed By, and whether each prints even when it is blank.

Not active yet

  • Enable JavaScript for documents during PDF downloads, and Stretch invoice and quotation tables to fill the page, which depends on it.
  • Configure document conversions.

Common questions
