Hi Folks,

I have created a custom template for printing salary slips. I want to know the jinja variable names through which all fields can be rendered in template.
I want to access all the variables which are rendering in default Standard Salary Slip template in my own custom designed template.

Thanks.

@progShubham, please, take a look a this: Print Format

Also, search for Print Format List in your system and check those too for more info!

Ps: Variables in the form are passed to the template in the doc object ex. {{ doc.name }} will print out the id of the document.

Hey Shubham,

Creating a custom Salary Slip print format in ERPNext (version 8) involves utilizing Jinja templating to access and display various fields. Here’s a concise guide to help you get started:

Accessing Fields in Jinja Templates

Basic Fields: Use the doc object to access standard fields. For example:
{{ doc.name }}: Salary Slip ID
{{ doc.employee }}: Employee ID
{{ doc.employee_name }}: Employee Name
{{ doc.month }}: Salary Month
{{ doc.payment_days }}: Number of Payment Days
{{ doc.net_pay }}: Net Pay Amount
Child Tables: For fields like Earnings and Deductions, which are stored in child tables, iterate over them using loops:

jinja

CopyEdit

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Earnings</th>
    <th>Amount</th>
  </tr>
  {% for row in doc.earnings %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ row.salary_component }}</td>
    <td>{{ row.amount }}</td>
  </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Deductions</th>
    <th>Amount</th>
  </tr>
  {% for row in doc.deductions %}
  <tr>
    <td>{{ row.salary_component }}</td>
    <td>{{ row.amount }}</td>
  </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>
