Invoices
The Invoices area is your tax-invoice register. It tracks both the invoices you issue to customers (output) and the invoices you receive from suppliers (input), each split into net, tax, and gross so your VAT position is always clear.
Output vs. input
| Type | Direction | Typical tax |
|---|---|---|
| Output (sales) | Invoices you issue to customers | Often 0% on exports |
| Input (purchase) | Invoices you receive from suppliers | VAT at the applicable rate |
Use the type filter at the top of the list to show All types, Output (sales), or Input (purchase).
The invoice list
Each row shows:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Invoice no. | The invoice number |
| Type | Output (sales) or input (purchase) |
| Title | The customer or supplier |
| Source order | The sales or purchase order it relates to |
| Date | Invoice date |
| Net | Amount before tax |
| Tax | Tax amount, with the rate shown alongside |
| Gross | Total including tax |
| Status | Issued, Received, or Voided |
The header shows a running total of gross value across the invoices in view. Voided invoices are excluded from that total. Search by invoice number or title to narrow the list.
Net, tax and gross
Every invoice records three figures:
- Net — the amount before tax
- Tax — net × the tax rate
- Gross — net + tax, the total amount
A 0% rate (common on export sales) simply leaves tax at zero, so gross equals net.
Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Issued | An output invoice you've sent to a customer |
| Received | An input invoice you've received from a supplier |
| Voided | Cancelled — excluded from totals |
TIP
Invoices are the tax document for a transaction. The actual cash movement is tracked separately under Payments, and orders are managed under Sales Orders and Purchase Orders.
