From the [sales order ](/en/orders/sales-orders.md)or the [Work receipt ](/en/service/work-orders.md)you can create an invoice directly. For each invoice, you can fill in the following fields. * **Invoice date:** this is set to today by default. * **Number of payment days:** this is filled in by default from the [settings](/en/configuration/settings.md) * **Delivery terms:** you can optionally send this along. This can be combined with the invoice PDF or as a separate attachment in the email * **Customer reference:** free input field that you can optionally fill in with, for example, a project code so that it is also shown on the invoice ### Send The created sales invoice can be sent directly to the Partner. The email address used for this is the set [communication preference ](/en/crm/contacts.md)of the Partner. If the email address is still missing, you can fill it in right away when sending so you can easily send the invoice immediately! Via the "Sales invoices to be sent" screen, you can send all sales invoices that have not yet been sent at once. #### Accountant In Powerall you can in the [settings](/en/configuration/settings.md) record the email address of your accountant. This offers the possibility to also send the sales invoice directly to the accountant ### Printing The sales invoice can also be printed. When printing, you can mark the sales invoice as "printed" so that it no longer appears in the list of "Sales invoices to be sent". You can also directly email a printed sales invoice to the accountant. ### Payments You can link the payment of the sales invoice in Powerall in the following way: * When assigning a [bank transaction](/en/financial/bank-accounts.md) choose the sales invoice * Add an offsetting entry manually to the sales invoice. Here you can as a user choose the [general ledger account](/en/financial/general-ledger-accounts.md) to which the amount should be posted. ### Attachments By default, the system generates a PDF and XML for each sales invoice. You can add extra attachments to the sales invoice yourself. These attachments are sent along when sending. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.powerall.app/en/accounts-receivable/sales-invoices.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
