Invoice factures processing and printing

  • Article

An invoice-facture is a document that certifies the actual shipment of goods or services, and their cost. An invoice-facture is issued (sent) by the seller (contractor or performer) to the buyer (customer) after the buyer has accepted all the goods or services. An invoice-facture has two purposes.

  • Confirmation that the order or work has been completed
  • Confirmation of the amount of value-added tax (VAT) that was paid, so that the amount can be credited later

An invoice-facture can be processed in the following ways:

  • Based on a purchase order or sales order
  • Based on a posted vendor or customer invoice
  • Based on a purchase product receipt
  • Based on a sales packing slip
  • Based on a sales free-text invoice

Setup

Set up a number sequence for factures

  1. Go to Accounts receivable > Setup > Accounts receivable parameters.
  2. On the Number sequences tab, select a number sequence code for the facture reference, and then assign the number sequence in the Number sequence code field.

Note
