# Templates

The Templates are used to predefine a set of basic accounting structures and rules. The templates have the same properties as their non-template equivalents except they are not linked to a Company <company:model-company.company>.

There are templates for:

- Accounts <model-account.account>,

- Account Types <model-account.account.type>,

- Taxes <model-account.tax>,

- Tax Codes <model-account.tax.code>, and

- Tax Rules <model-account.tax.rule>.

These templates are used together to form a complete accounting structure for particular country and/or company type.

# Account Move Template

An Account Move Template provides a predefined structure for an Account Move <model-account.move>.

Each account move template can define a set of keywords. Values for these keywords are requested from the user when the template is used. These values are then substituted for the keyword placeholders defined in the account move template’s fields.

The account move template’s lines, and their tax lines, mirror the structure of Account Move Lines <model-account.move.line> and Tax Lines <model-account.tax.line> respectively. However, in selected fields they also allow the use of expressions that can contain the keyword placeholders.
