Invoice based on delivered or ordered quantities
================================================
Depending on your business and what you sell, you have two options for
invoicing:
Different business policies might require different options for invoicing:
- Invoice on ordered quantity: invoice the full order as soon as the sales
order is confirmed.
- Invoice on delivered quantity: invoice on what you delivered even if
it's a partial delivery.
- The **Invoice what is ordered** rule is used as **default mode** in Odoo Sales, which means that
customers will be invoiced once the sales order is confirmed.
Invoice on ordered quantity is the default mode.
- The **Invoice what is delivered** rule will invoice customers once the delivery is done. This rule
concerns businesses that sell materials, liquids or food in large quantities. In these cases, the
quantity might diverge a little bit and it is, therefore, preferable to invoice the quantity
actually delivered.
The benefits of using *Invoice on delivered quantity* depends on your
type of business, when you sell material, liquids or food in large
quantities the quantity might diverge a little bit and it is therefore
better to invoice the actual delivered quantity.
Being able to have different invoicing options allow you more flexibility. Indeed, you need to know
exactly how to invoice your customers for different situations.
Activate these features
=======================
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings` and under **Invoicing policy** choose
the rule you want to apply.

If you decide to choose the **Invoice what is delivered** rule, you will not be able to
activate the feature called **Automatic invoice**, which automatically generates invoices when
the online payment is confirmed.
Choose an invoicing policy on a product form
============================================
From any product page, under the **Sales tab**, you will find the invoicing policy, which can be
manually changed.

Impact on sales flow
====================
On Odoo Sales, the basic sales flow will be to create a quotation, send it to your customer,
wait for confirmation, confirm the sales order and create an invoice.
- **Invoice what is ordered**: No impact on this basic sales flow. Indeed, you can invoice as soon
as the sale is confirmed.
- **Invoice what is delivered**: Small impact on sales flow because you will have to manually
enter the delivered quantity on the sales order or to install the **Inventory App** to confirm the
delivered quantity before creating an invoice, with the **Sales App**. Indeed, if you try to
create an invoice without validating the delivered quantity, you will receive an error message as
below.

.. note::
You also have the ability to invoice manually, letting you
control every options: invoice ready to invoice lines, invoice a
percentage (advance), invoice a fixed advance.
Once the quotation is confirmed and that the status went from **Quotation sent** to
**Sales order**, you are able to see your delivered and invoiced quantities directly from your
sales order (it is true for both rules).

payment (percentage or fixed amount).

quantities.

If you set it in ordered quantities, you can invoice as soon as the sale
is confirmed. If however you selected delivered quantities, you will
first have to validate the delivery.
Once the products are delivered, you can invoice your customer. Odoo
will automatically add the quantities to invoice based on how many you
delivered if you did a partial delivery.
