Sales Invoice Window
This topic applies to Microsoft Dynamics C5 2016 and solutions that use the Simplified UX objects.
Specifies a sales invoice that is not yet posted.
You create a sales invoice to record your agreement with a customer to sell certain products on certain delivery and payment terms.
You can negotiate with the customer by first creating a sales quote, which you can convert to a sales invoice when you agree on the sale. For more information, see How to: Make Offers (Simplified).
After the customer has confirmed the agreement, for example after a quote process, you post the sales invoice to record your obligation to deliver the products as agreed. When you post the sales invoice, you also output the invoice as a document that you must send to the customer as a copy of the agreement.
In most business environments, you now fulfill the agreement by delivering the products. In turn, the customer fulfills their agreement by paying for the products according to the payment terms, for example within 14 days. In business environments where the customer must pay before products are delivered, such as in retail, you must wait for the receipt of payment for the products before you deliver the products. For more information, see How to: Process Payments.
