How to Create an Invoice

Invoices are how you bill clients for your work. Here's how to create one:

Step 1: Navigate to Invoices

Click on "Invoices" in the navigation, then click "Create Invoice", or visit /invoices/create.

Step 2: Select Client and Project

Choose the client and project for this invoice. If you select a project, you'll be able to add milestones from that project.

Step 3: Add Milestones (Optional)

If you selected a project, you can:

  • See all milestones for that project
  • Select which milestones to include
  • Selected milestones are automatically added as line items
  • See both estimated and actual costs for each milestone
  • Adjust amounts if needed

Step 4: Add Line Items

Add line items manually or use milestones. For each line item, specify:

  • Description: Item description
  • Quantity: Number of units
  • Unit Price: Price per unit
  • Tax Category: Select applicable tax (optional)

Step 5: Set Invoice Details

Configure invoice details:

  • Issue Date: Invoice date
  • Due Date: Payment due date
  • Currency: Currency for the invoice
  • Status: Invoice status (usually starts as "Draft")
  • Notes: Additional information for the client
  • Terms: Payment terms and conditions

Step 6: Apply Discounts (Optional)

You can apply:

  • Line Item Discounts: Discounts on individual items
  • Overall Discount: A discount on the total amount

Step 7: Save the Invoice

Click "Create Invoice" to save. The system automatically calculates subtotals, taxes, and the final total.

💡 Tip:

Using milestones ensures consistency and makes invoicing faster. The system tracks which milestones have been invoiced.
