How to re-invoice expenses to your customers?
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
It often happens that your employees have to spend their personal money
|
||||
while working on a project for your client. Let's take the example of an
|
||||
employee paying a parking spot for a meeting with your client. As a
|
||||
company, you would like to be able to invoice that expense to your
|
||||
client.
|
||||
|
||||
In this documentation we will see two use cases. The first, very basic,
|
||||
consists of invoicing a simple expense to your client like you would do
|
||||
for a product. The second, more advanced, will consist of invoicing
|
||||
expenses entered in your expense system by your employees directly to
|
||||
your customer.
|
||||
|
||||
Use case 1: Simple expense invoicing
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Let's take the following example. You are working on a promotion
|
||||
campaign for one of your customers (``Agrolait``) and you have to print a
|
||||
lot of copies. Those copies are an expense for your company and you
|
||||
would like to invoice them.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to sell services and to send invoices, you need to install the
|
||||
**Sales** application, from the **Apps** icon.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Create product to be expensed
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will need now to create a product called ``Copies``.
|
||||
|
||||
From your **Sales** module, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products`
|
||||
and create a product as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Product type**: consumable
|
||||
|
||||
- **Invoicing policy**: on delivered quantities (you will manually
|
||||
set the quantities to invoice on the sale order)
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice02.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Create a sale order
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now that your product is correctly set up, you can create a sale order
|
||||
for that product (from the menu :menuselection:`Sales --> Sales Orders`)
|
||||
with the ordered quantities set to 0.
|
||||
Click on **Confirm the Sale** to create the sale
|
||||
order. You will be able then to manually change the delivered quantities
|
||||
on the sale order to reinvoice the copies to your customer.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice03.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Invoice expense to your client
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the month, you have printed ``1000`` copies on behalf of your
|
||||
client and you want to re-invoice them. From the related sale order,
|
||||
click on **Delivered Quantities**, manually enter the correct amount of
|
||||
copies and click on **Save**. Your order line will turn blue, meaning that
|
||||
it is ready to be invoiced. Click on **Create invoice**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The total amount on your sale order will be of 0 as it is computed on
|
||||
the ordered quantities. It is your invoice which will compute the
|
||||
correct amount due by your customer.
|
||||
|
||||
The invoice generated is in draft, so you can always control the
|
||||
quantities and change the amount if needed. You will notice that the
|
||||
amount to be invoiced is based here on the delivered quantities.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click on validate to issue the payment to your customer.
|
||||
|
||||
Use case 2: Invoice expenses via the expense module
|
||||
===================================================
|
||||
|
||||
To illustrate this case, let's imagine that your company sells some
|
||||
consultancy service to your customer ``Agrolait`` and both parties agreed
|
||||
that the distance covered by your consultant will be re-invoiced at
|
||||
cost.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Here, you will need to install two more modules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Expense Tracker
|
||||
|
||||
- Accounting, where you will need to activate the analytic accounting
|
||||
from the settings
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice05.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Create a product to be expensed
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will now need to create a product called ``Kilometers``.
|
||||
|
||||
From your **Sales** module, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Products`
|
||||
and create a product as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Product can be expensed
|
||||
|
||||
- Product type: Service
|
||||
|
||||
- Invoicing policy: invoice based on time and material
|
||||
|
||||
- Expense invoicing policy: At cost
|
||||
|
||||
- Track service: manually set quantities on order
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice06.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Create a sales order
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Still from the Sales module, go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Sales Orders`
|
||||
and add your product **Consultancy** on the order line.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
If your product doesn't exist yet, you can configure it on the fly
|
||||
from the SO. Just type the name on the **product** field and click
|
||||
on **Create and edit** to configure it.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on your product configuration, an **Analytic Account** may have
|
||||
been generated automatically. If not, you can easily create one in order
|
||||
to link your expenses to the sale order. Do not forget to confirm the
|
||||
sale order.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice07.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Refer to the documentation :doc:`../../../accounting/others/analytic/usage`
|
||||
to learn more about that concept.
|
||||
|
||||
Create expense and link it to SO
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Let's assume that your consultant covered ``1.000km`` in October as part
|
||||
of his consultancy project. We will create a expense for it and link
|
||||
it to the related sales order thanks to the analytic account.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to the **Expenses** module and click on **Create**. Record your expense
|
||||
as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Expense description**: Kilometers October 2015
|
||||
|
||||
- **Product**: Kilometers
|
||||
|
||||
- **Quantity**: 1.000
|
||||
|
||||
- **Analytic account**: SO0019 - Agrolait
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/reinvoice08.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Click on **Submit to manager**. As soon as the expense has been validated
|
||||
and posted to the journal entries, a new line corresponding to the
|
||||
expense will automatically be generated on the sale order.
|
||||
|
||||
Invoice expense to your client
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can now invoice the invoiceable lines to your customer.
