# Invoice Preferences

Let’s have a look at the various settings you can configure for the Invoices module in Zoho Billing.

* * *

## Basic Settings

To configure your invoice preferences:

*   Go to **Settings**.
*   Select **Invoices** under _Sales_ in the _Module Settings_ pane.

### Invoice Number

You can change the prefix of the auto-generated invoice number and set the number from which the next invoice will start.

*   In the _General_ tab, enter the prefix and the next invoice number.
*   Click **+** next to _Prefix_ if you want to add placeholders like fiscal year, transaction year.
*   Scroll down and click **Save**.

### Associate and Display Expense Receipts in Invoices

You can choose to display any expenses associated with the invoice in the Invoice PDF.

*   Navigate to the **General** tab.
*   Mark the **Associate and display expense receipts in Invoice PDF** option to be able to attach the expenses incurred on behalf of the customer to the invoice.
*   Scroll down and click **Save**.

### Payments

You can receive a notification when your customers pay you.

*   Navigate to the **General** tab.
*   Mark the **Get notified when customers pay online** option under _Payments_ to be notified when you receive payments online.
*   Scroll down and click **Save**.

### Invoice QR Code

You can display QR code on the PDF copy of your Invoices. Your customers can scan the QR code using their device to access the URL or other information that you configure.

*   Navigate to the **General** tab.
*   Slide the toggle next to **Invoice QR Code** if you want to display QR code on the Invoice PDFs. You can configure the QR code after sliding the toggle.
*   Scroll down and click **Save**.

### Hide Zero-value Line Items

**Warning:** This setting does not apply to invoices with a total value of zero.

If your invoice contains line items with zero value, you can choose to hide them in the invoice’s _PDF_ or in the _Customer Portal_. These line items will still be visible when viewing or editing the invoice. Here’s how:

*   In the _General_ tab, mark **Hide zero-value line items** under _Zero-value line items_.
*   Scroll down and click **Save**.

Now, zero-value line items are hidden in the invoice’s **PDF** and **Customer Portal** but remain visible when you view or edit the invoice.

### Setup Fee Label

You can change the text of the Setup Fee label for both your invoices and hosted payment pages.

*   Navigate to the **General** tab.
*   Enter the text in the field under **Setup Fee Label**. 
*   Click **Save**.

### Terms & Conditions

Enter the Terms and Conditions of your business to be displayed in your invoices.

### Customer Notes

Enter any notes that you want to display in your invoices for your customers.

After configuring the desired preferences, click **Save** on the bottom of the page.
