To access the Invoices document list, go to Sales > Sales Documents > Invoices.

Invoices are used to register the sales to customers  and transactions of other types with all the required details of these transactions.

Generally, Invoices are also used to account for the goods issued from the warehouses; however, if the Separate Inventory and Financial Documents option is selected on the Administration > Settings > Purchasing and Warehouses form, and the goods are sold from warehouses for which the Separate Inventory and Financial Documents option is selected in their master records (on the Warehouses form), the documents of the Goods Dispatch Note type are required for issuing goods from such warehouses.


The Invoices list 

The list of invoices includes all the invoices available in the system. If you don't see a specific document, filter the list by company, responsible person, or warehouse; rearrange the list by date or document number or use the Search field to locate the document by a string in its description, company name, or contract number. You can change the list display settings to suit your particular needs. To learn more about the list display settings, see Working with the item list. An icon in the first column indicates whether the invoice has been paid: fully (), partially (), not paid ().

Invoices can be based on documents of the following types: Lead, Quotation, Customer Order, or Proforma Invoice from the Sales module.

The following types of invoices are available in the system (some of the transaction types are available if the appropriate features are turned on):

  • Sale to Customer: To register the sale of the goods and services.
  • Transfer to Consignment: To register the goods transferred to the consignment store for sale.
