Creating an Invoice (Command-N)...

 

This is where you will spend the majority of your time when using MacInvoice. From this screen you will create invoices, print them, queue them for later printing, e-mail them, and browse through previous invoices. In addition, this screen serves as a launching point to "Apply Payments," "Add Item" to Autofill, or do a "Code Lookup" on existing Autofill items.

To create an invoice, simply select one of your customers that you have added from the Bill To popup box. The Terms box will automatically fill in whatever you entered as the default terms for that customer. However, you can edit this information if you need to. You can then select which salesperson is associated with this invoice by selecting them from the Sales Rep popup box.

Once you have entered the above information, you are ready to begin entering information concerning the job or service in question. If you regularly create invoices that are similar in nature, you can enter a unique identifier, along with the description for that item. Enter the Price Per, Qty, and Tax. If you would like anymore information to be associated with this job or service, you may enter it in the Comments field. Once all information has been entered, check the Save for Autofill box to save the everything but the customer data for future invoices. You will then be taken to a new screen where you can enter more Autofill information. Once you return to the Main Window, print, queue, or save your current invoice.

You also have the option of choosing what currency you want the invoice to be billed in. Your default currency will be selected automatically. However, if you are billing a client that uses a different currency, simply change it on this screen. It will not change your default currency, only the currency for the invoice you are currently working on.

You can also Apply Payments from this screen. When you select this option, a new window will open that allows you to apply or retract cash from the invoice currently open. If you apply the full amount of the invoice, it will mark the invoice as paid on the main window.

When you are ready to create a new invoice, save your existing one and click the New button in the upper right corner, or the up arrow key.
