The Swiss QR Bill simplifies invoicing and ensures faster, automated payment processing through structured QR codes. This setup enables compatibility with Swiss banks, including the use of QR-IBANs and automatic reconciliation via camt.054 files.

## Prerequisites

Before creating QR bills, ensure the following:

- **QR-IBAN:** Request this special IBAN from your bank. It's different from a regular IBAN and is required for generating QR bills with structured creditor references (QRR).
- Swiss Accounting Software You must have the Swiss accounting module installed:
  - 🔗 [GitHub Repository (Onfuse)](https://github.com/onfuseag/swiss_accounting_software)
  - 🧠 [Onfuse Swiss Accounting Overview](https://onfuse.ch/swiss-accounting-software)

## ⚙️ Setup Instructions

### Step 1: Open the QR Bill Settings

1. Search for “Swiss QR Bill Settings List” using the global search bar.
2. If no setting exists, click New to create one.

### Step 2: Configure the Settings Fields

Fill in the following fields as shown:

- **QR Code Type:** You can only select Type 1 here.
- **Bank Account:** Choose the receiving bank account. Ensure this bank account is set up in your Chart of Accounts and has a valid QR-IBAN.
- **Assign Unreconciled Transactions To:** Provide the email address of the person responsible for follow-up when payments can't be matched automatically (e.g., [contact@onfuse.ch](mailto:contact@onfuse.ch)).
- **Threshold Payment Difference:** Define the maximum payment deviation allowed for auto-reconciliation (e.g., 0.50 CHF).
- **Automatically Create Sales Invoice PDF:** On Submit of a Sales Invoice, a PDF with QR Code will be attached to the invoice.
- **QR Bill per invoice:** Depending on the payment terms, a number of PDFs with QR Codes will be generated.

### Step 3: Link the QR-IBAN

1. Navigate to the selected Bank Account.
2. Enter the QR-IBAN in the IBAN field.
3. Save the record. The QR-IBAN is essential for QR code compliance and for enabling creditor reference generation.

## 🧾 Using QR Bill in Sales Invoices

- Go to any Sales Invoice with currency CHF/EUR
- Click on "Create QR Bill".
