This task is one section of Odoo administration: seven setup tasks for admins, with 6 related tasks on one page.
1. Open the document layout
In Settings, find the Companies section and click Configure Document Layout. The preview on the right shows the header before you rely on it.
These settings belong to the active company and apply to its reports, including quotations and invoices.
2. Set the logo, address, and paper size
Edit the company logo. Check the address, tagline, footer, and paper format. Odoo offers A4 and US Letter here. Saving the logo also updates the company record.
Use the footer for the legal line you must show, such as a registration number, only when that number is already on the company record or your accountant has confirmed it.
3. Print one draft invoice
Open a draft customer invoice and print or download the PDF. Confirm the logo, company name, and address on the file, not only on the screen preview.
If a self-hosted server prints a blank header, the PDF engine may be missing. The Ubuntu install guide names the documented package. Fix that before you redesign the report.
4. Change the company you are editing
Select the company in the company selector before you open the layout. A logo saved for one company does not replace the logo of another company in the same database.
5. Frequently asked questions
Will quotations use the same logo?
Yes. This layout is the company default for external reports, not a change to one invoice.
Can each company have its own logo?
Yes. Select the company first. The layout is company-specific.
The preview shows the logo, but the PDF does not. What should I check?
Save the layout and print again. On your own server, compare the result with the packaged install notes before editing the report design.
