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).
|
||||
|
||||

Send the invoice

|
||||
|
||||
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.
