Invoice Sales Activities

An invoice can be created at various stages in the sales process. The invoicing features allow you to invoice cash sales, use quotes and orders as preliminary drafts for invoices, and use alternative shipping and invoicing methods.

Direct invoicing is the issuance of an invoice at the same time that the goods are sold and shipped, without prior issuance of a quote or an order. You can also invoice sales orders.

There are many optional features that you can use in sales invoicing. For example, you can invoice for the use of resources, you can use line discounts and alternative sales prices, and you can track lot or serial numbers for the items on the invoice.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
