Introduction

Most companies typically create a Quotation, converting it into a Sales Order upon agreement with a customer, which is then converted into an Invoice upon preparation of the goods and services requested.

This article covers how to create an Invoice, which is issued to a customer to communicate the sale of goods and services along with payment deadlines. Invoices are also used to keep track of payments owed in your internal accounting records.

Before you begin

DashBod enables you to create Quotation, Sales Order, and Invoice independently of each other. Check with your company’s sales management process if there’s a need to create a Quotation or a Sales Order first.

You will also have to create the Customer Profile first before creating the Invoice
