How to Set Expense Formula in ecount Print File

This article explains how to set the Expense Formula in an ecount Print File so that tax names and values are filled automatically.

📋 Overview

Expense Formula links a tax type to placeholders in the Print File. When a tax type is selected, ecount inserts the corresponding tax name and amount without manual entry.

🔧 Steps / How-to

Open the Print File editor and click the cell where the tax information should appear.
In the right‑hand pane locate the DocumentMapType field.
Enter the placeholder for the tax column name, such as {e:n0}, {e:n1}, {e:n2}, …
Enter the placeholder for the tax value, such as {e:a0}, {e:a1}, {e:a2}, …
Save the Print File. ecount will automatically set the tax name and value based on the selected tax type.
