Creating and sending an Invoice
An invoice is a standard tax document or agreement for provision of goods & services. There are three stages of an invoice to choose from (top right menu of a new invoice):
- Send as quote (Quotation): Quote a customer for goods or services, expecting an order. When the quote is successful, the status can be changed to Invoice
- Hold invoice open: Create an invoice but do not allow finalising just yet
- Finalised invoice: A tax invoice issued to a customer ready for payment (also referred to as ‘posted’ or ‘closed’, but does not necessarily mean ‘paid off’)
