3.You will be taken to the Create Invoice page. This is where you will create an invoice for an order.
There are a few areas of the page to note using the screenshot example above:

- In the General Information section, you must enter in an Invoice Number.
- Invoice Date will pre-populate with today's date but can be modified.
- Invoice Number and Invoice Date are the only two fields that can be modified in this section.
- In the Invoice Items section, the only field that can be modified is the Unit Price field.
- In the Invoice Totals section, you can modify Discount, Freight and Tax and the Invoice Total will auto-update based on those changes.
- Discount will subtract from the Invoice Total, while Freight and Tax will be added to the Invoice Total.
- Once ready, click Submit (top right corner of the page).
Create an Invoice for Shipped Items
Our default invoice is for an entire order, however some vendors will invoice based on shipment. To create an invoice just for items shipped, follow these steps:
1. Search for the PO in the search box.
2. Find the shipment document you want to invoice, click View.
- Key point: You must view the shipment you want to invoice if you want to limit the invoice to what was shipped.
3. Click New Invoice (top right corner of the screen)
4. Follow the normal steps to create an invoice and click Submit.
