Document templates are pre-designed file formats within a document management system that standardize the creation, appearance, and structure of business documents such as contracts, agreements, receipts, and statements.
Core Features
- Brand Consistency: Apply logos, colors, typography, and layouts uniformly across all generated documents
- PDF Export: Generate professional PDF outputs for contracts, reservation agreements, and official receipts
- Dynamic Field Mapping: Automatically populate client names, property details, payment schedules, and agent information
- Multi-Document Support: Create templates for various document types including:
- Reservation Agreements
- Contract to Sell (CTS)
- Deed of Absolute Sale (DOAS)
- Official Receipts
- Commission Statements
- BIR Form 2307 (Withholding Tax Certificate)
- Version Control: Track changes and maintain template history for compliance purposes
- Role-Based Access: Restrict template editing to authorized administrators while allowing agents to generate documents
How it Works
- Template Design: Administrators create or upload base templates with placeholder fields using the system configuration module
- Field Mapping: The system links database fields (buyer name, property address, TCP, equity breakdown) to template placeholders
- Document Generation: When a user initiates document creation, the system pulls relevant data and merges it with the template
- PDF Rendering: The completed document is rendered as a branded PDF ready for printing or digital distribution
- Storage & Retrieval: Generated documents are stored in the sales document management system for future access
