Steps
-
Step 1: Open the Sales Register
Click Registers in the main menu, then choose the Sales Register. It lists your sales invoices.
-
Step 2: Choose the period
Use the date filter at the top to pick the period that contains the invoices you want, so they appear in the list.
-
Step 3: Tick the invoices
Tick the box beside each invoice you want. A bar appears showing how many are selected. Only posted sales invoices are counted for printing, so a cancelled or unfinished entry is left out.
Tip: If you cannot see tick boxes, your login may not allow selecting entries. Ask the person who manages your team's access.
-
Step 4: Click Bulk Print
In the bar, click the button that reads Bulk Print followed by the number of invoices. A window titled Print selected invoices opens and asks how you want them to come out.
-
Step 5: Pick one combined PDF or separate PDFs
Choose One combined PDF to get all invoices in a single document, best for printing a batch in one go. Choose A separate PDF per invoice to get one file for each invoice, named after its invoice number, delivered together as one zip file. One combined PDF is already chosen when you open the window.
Tip: Choose separate PDFs when you want to file the invoices or send them to customers one by one.
-
Step 6: Start the print or download
Click the button at the bottom of the window. For a combined PDF it reads Print, with the number of invoices, and the document opens so you can print it. For separate PDFs it reads Download, with the number of invoices, and a zip file named after today's date is saved to your computer.
-
Step 7: If you chose a large batch
When you select more than 50 invoices, the window says they will be prepared in the background. The button then reads Prepare, with the number of invoices. You can leave the window open or close it, and collect the finished file later under Downloads, where it is kept for 7 days.

Questions
How many invoices can I print at once?
A combined PDF can hold up to 200 invoices and separate PDFs up to 1000. If your selection is too large for one choice, the window tells you the limit and you can pick the other choice or select fewer invoices.
Why are some of my selected invoices not counted?
Only posted sales invoices are printed this way. Entries of other kinds, and cancelled or unfinished invoices, are left out of the count shown on the button.
Where do I find the file if I closed the window?
Open Downloads in Smart Books. Large batches stay there for 7 days.
