With the introduction of Malaysia’s e-Invoice system, it’s crucial for businesses to update their document formats to include the QR code and validation link as required by LHDN.
While AutoCount Accounting comes with default e-Invoice-ready templates, many long-time users already have custom-designed reports that do not yet include the QR code.
This guide will show you how to easily copy the QR code and validation text from a default e-Invoice report and paste it into your existing custom report. This ensures your business remains compliant without redesigning your layouts from scratch.
Steps to Add QR Code
1. Open Report Designer
- Go to Sales → Invoice.
- Click Report → Design Document Style Report.
2. Copy QR Code from Default Report
- Find and select default e-Invoice-ready report such as
Invoice (Malaysia e-Invoice)→ Click Design. - Scroll to the bottom of the layout.
- Select both the QR Code and Validation Text.
- Right-click → Copy.
- Close the report.
3. Paste into Your Existing Report
- In the same designer window, find report format you are currently using (your custom layout) and click Design.
- Scroll to the bottom.
- Right-click → Paste to insert the copied QR elements.
4. Show Validation Text Only When Available
To prevent the validation text from showing unnecessarily, we’ll set it to appear only when a QR Validation Link is available.
- Click the Validation Text.
- In the Properties panel → Scroll to Scripts → Expand Before Print → Click New. This action opens the Scripts editor.
- In the script editor, paste this inside the
{ }:
5. Save the Report
Click Save, and you’re done!
Now the QR code and validation text will show only when the invoice is validated.
Done!
You’ve successfully added the Malaysia e-Invoice QR Code and Validation Text to your custom report in AutoCount Accounting.
Apply the same method to Credit Note, Debit Note, or any other document that requires e-Invoice output.
