Printing & Emailing Documents

Every document in ZAPTIZ β€” quotations, invoices (tax & proforma), purchase orders, RFQs, GRNs, supplier invoices, delivery notes, job cards, material issues, payment receipts, BOMs β€” shares the same Print and Email controls. Learn them once, use them everywhere.

The Print menu​

The Print button is a split button:

  • Click it to quick-print with your default template.
  • Open the caret menu for:
    • Print studio (preview & choose)… β€” a live preview where you pick any template before printing.
    • Quick-print entries for each named template.
    • Preview in new tab β€” the rendered document as a page (use the browser's Print β†’ Save as PDF to make a PDF).
    • Manage templates… β€” jumps to the Template Center.

Documents render in your company's branding as designed in the Template Center.

The Email button​

Email opens a compose dialog: To (pre-filled from the customer/vendor record when available), Cc, Subject, Message, and Attachments β€” the document PDF plus optional "also attach the linked document" checkboxes.

Two things to know:

Company email must be connected first

Documents send from your company's own email address (connected by an admin in Settings β†’ Integrations). Until it's connected you'll see "Connect your company email first." Every send is recorded in the email logs.

Emailing can advance the document's status

Emailing a quotation automatically marks it Sent β€” you'll see a toast confirming the status change.

The missing-price guard​

Before printing or emailing any priced document, ZAPTIZ checks the line items. If any line has a blank or β‚Ή0 unit price, you'll see:

"N items have no unit cost" β€” the totals on this document will be understated. Set a price for them, or continue anyway.

Choose Go back & fix (recommended) or Continue anyway. Documents that are legitimately priceless β€” RFQs, delivery notes, payment receipts, job cards β€” skip the check.

Making a PDF​

There's no separate PDF button on most documents β€” use Preview in new tab and the browser's Print β†’ Save as PDF. (The BOM Generator additionally has a one-click Download BOM PDF.)
