How do I create a new invoice?

To create a new invoice:-

 

 

First you will need to open the Invoice form.

 

This can be done by choosing one of the following methods:

 

Click on the button_forminvoice  toolbar button        or

 

Select Forms->Invoices from the drop-down menus        or

 

Click on the icon_forminvoice icon on the left-hand browser pane of your database form.

 

 

Once the Invoice form is opened choose one of the following methods to create a new blank invoice:

 

Click on the button_recordnew toolbar button                or

 

Select Record->New from the drop-down menus        or

 

Hit the F2 shortcut key.

 

 

Fill in the details of the new invoice in the blank invoice form. More help on this can be found in the Invoice form topic.

 

Save any changes you have made by using one of the following methods:

 

Click on the button_recordsave toolbar button        or

 

Select Record->Save from the drop-down menus        or

 

Hit the F9 shortcut key.

 

 

When saving a new invoice, the update ingredients costs dialog appears and asks if you would like to update ingredient costs. This is the only opportunity you will get to update the costs from this invoice.

 

NOTE: To cater for suppliers recycling invoice numbers, the program allows you to enter the same invoice number more than once for the same supplier.  Take care you don't enter the same invoice twice.
