  • Some of the standard fields may not be visible or editable depending on your organization business process.
  • In case you want to add or modify fields, please contact your System Administrator for more details on the usage of other fields.

Create Invoice Individually

You can create invoices individually by:

  • Filling in the details in the invoice creation form.
  • Cloning the invoices with a few changes in the existing invoice details.

To create invoices individually

  3. Under the Product Details section, click Add Line Items
  4. In the Choose Products popup, type in at least one character of the Product Name or Product Code to search for the desired product and choose it from the drop-down. The only way to add products is by choosing them from the drop-down. You cannot add them otherwise. Also, the search results are affected by words seperated by a space. For example, typing "P" will bring up "i pad", provided the product name is stored as "i pad" (as two words). If it is stored as "ipad", typing "p" will not bring up the product. To bring this up, you must type "i”. 

    To know more about a product listed in the drop-down, point your mouse to the Info icon next to the product. 
  5. Enter the desired quantity for the chosen product. 
    For more info on the stock quantity of the chosen product, point the mouse to the Info icon next to quantity text box.

    Note that you can add up to 100 line items in an invoice.
  7. Once you have added all product lines, click Add Products to add them to the invoice. All the details required for the chosen line item (including taxes, price book discounts and product description for the chosen product) will be populated automatically.

Working with Invoices

Once the sales stage reaches its final phase you may start working on the payment procedure. In this regard an Invoice plays a vital role, which is important for both Sales and Accounting purposes. An invoice is a bill issued by the vendor to the customer along with the goods or services shipment. It usually contains the Purchase Order reference number, Date, Billing Address, Shipping Address, Terms of Payment, Line Items (products/services) with quantities and prices. In a typical organization, invoicing completes the sales process and begins the accounting process where accounts receivable is managed by the Accounts/Finance teams.

In CRM, you can create invoices directly from the Potentials, Accounts, Quotes, or Sales Order modules.
