Summary:
This guide explains how to generate a one-off, custom invoice directly from a customer’s profile in the CRM. It covers selecting items, customizing details, and finalizing the invoice.
Create an Immediate Invoice
1. Access the Customer Record
Click on the CRM module.
Open the customer record for the client you want to invoice.
Go to the Finances tab.
Click the Immediate Invoice button.
If the button doesn’t appear, click the “…” menu and select Immediate Invoice.
2. Enter Invoice Details
Choose the invoice date (past or future dates allowed).
Select the items, move them to the right with the middle arrow, and enter the desired quantity.
Optional: create an “exceptional” item (a one-time item that won’t be saved in your database). Fill in the fields and click Save.
3. Configure Invoice Format
Click Next.
Select a report.
Update the address, and add a header and/or footer if needed.
Click Next.
4. Choose Email Options
Select the email template you prepared in advance.
(Required step, even if you don’t plan to send the email.)
5. Finalize the Invoice
Print, send by email, both, or neither.
Exit the process.
Result:
The invoice is now visible in the client’s account as unpaid. You can leave it as unpaid until payment is received, or mark it as “Paid Invoice” if already settled.
