An invoice, bill or tab is a
commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, which relates to a sale
transaction. The invoice indicates the products, quantities, and agreed prices
or services the seller had provided the buyer. The term invoice indicates that
money is owed or
owing.
The payment terms are also stated on
the invoice, which specifies the maximum number of days to settle the invoice,
and a ‘settlement discount’ is sometimes offered if payment is made before the
due date. In some cases, the buyer has already paid for the products or services
listed on the invoice.
The invoice in this screen refers to
a sales invoice, whereby we are
issuing the invoice from the point of a seller. The invoice is called a purchase
invoice if we are receiving the invoice (e.g. from a supplier) from the point of
a buyer.
The invoice is the starting point
for GL double entry postings for
sales transactions. The accounting double entries are automatically posted to
the trade debtor control account and the selected GL code in the invoice
transaction screen.
