One of the biggest improvements introduced in TallyPrime Release 7.1 is the completely redesigned Invoice Print Template system.

Open the invoice.
Press:
Ctrl + P
Then:
Ctrl + H (Change Template)
Press:
Alt + S (Copy Configurations)
Select Yes.
This copies the common functional configurations from the classic Tally print format into the current template, giving a layout and behavior closer to the traditional invoice style while still using the new template framework.
From the Template List (F2), choose one of the standard predefined templates or revert to the default template supplied by Tally if you've customized another template. You can also remove a template as the default using Alt + L and select a different default template.
Note: TallyPrime 7.1 does not remove the traditional printing approach; businesses can continue using simple/default templates if they do not require modern branding.

Invoice Print Templates in TallyPrime 7.1 represent one of the most significant improvements in invoice presentation in recent years. Businesses can now produce professional, branded invoices with logos, colors, watermarks, custom fields, and flexible layouts—without relying on TDL for common customization needs. At the same time, organizations that prefer a simpler or more traditional look can continue using the classic-style configuration or standard templates, making the transition flexible rather than mandatory.
