Creating & numbering invoices

What is this? How to turn an order into an invoice with a sequential number. For the overview, see Accounting & Invoices. You do this under Accounting → Invoices.

Prerequisite

The VAT rates (MwSt.) should be assigned so that the invoice calculates correctly. The difference between a receipt and an invoice is explained in Receipt or invoice?.

Creating an invoice

1. Enter the order number.
2. Create the invoice. It receives a sequential number (§ 14 UStG) without gaps.
3. Output it as a PDF.

Cancellation & correction

You can cancel or correct an invoice; the number sequence remains traceable throughout.

Note on older orders

The VAT status is recorded per order (frozen) and does not change retroactively. For very old orders without this recorded status, the note „(estimated)“ appears on the PDF.
