Managing invoices doesn’t have to be a headache. With EasyVend, you have a few straightforward options to get the job done efficiently. In this guide, we’ll walk you through three practical ways to generate invoices in EasyVend, so you can choose the method that works best for your business.
Method 1: Create an Invoice from the Orders Screen
If you’re looking for the quickest and easiest way to create an invoice in EasyVend, this method is a great place to start. Follow these simple steps:
- Locate the "Create Invoice" Button
- After creating an order, navigate to the bottom of the order page. You’ll find the Create Invoice button.
- Generate the Invoice
Clicking the button will immediately generate the invoice for that specific order.
Important Note:
- This method does not automatically email the invoice to the customer.
- If you want to send the invoice, you must manually email it. To do this:
- Go to the customer’s profile.
- Open the Invoices screen.
- Select the invoice by its number.
- Click the Email button to send it.
This method is ideal when you need to quickly generate and review an invoice for a single order.
Method 2: Generate Invoices from the Customer’s Profile
This method is ideal for handling multiple outstanding invoices for a customer all at once. Here’s how it works:
1. Access the Customer’s Profile
Navigate to the customer's profile. You’ll find the Generate Invoice button both at the top and bottom of the profile screen.
2 .Generate All Due Invoices
Clicking the ‘Generate Invoice’ button will create invoices for all orders due up to and including today’s date. This process respects the settings configured in the customer’s billing information, such as:
- Days Between Invoices: The interval between each invoice.
- Next Invoice Date: The scheduled date for the next invoice.
Example:
A customer set to receive invoices daily may have five un-invoiced orders. Generating the invoice from their profile will consolidate all these orders into one invoice with a single click, saving you the time of handling each order individually.
This method is especially useful for catching up on multiple skipped or canceled invoices efficiently.
Method 3: Batch Invoice Generation
If you invoice customers on specific dates or for a group of customers, batch generation is the way to go. Here’s how it works:
1. Navigate to the Invoices Screen
Access this feature via the Print Invoices quick link on the dashboard or by selecting Invoices from the customer menu.
2. Set the Invoice Date
Click the Generate Invoices button, and a pop-up screen will appear. In the Invoices Due On field:
- Enter the Next Invoice Date configured in the customers' billing information.
- For example, if a group of customers is set to be invoiced weekly, and their next invoice is due on July 19, 2024, input this date.
3. Apply Filters (Optional)
Use additional filters to narrow your selection if needed:
- Invoice specific customer groups.
- Include only specific customers.
- Focus on a defined customer range.
If no filters are applied, EasyVend will automatically query all customers due for invoices on the specified date.
4. Generate Invoices
Click Generate, and EasyVend will process the batch. Once complete, you’ll see a summary, including:
- The total number of invoices generated.
- How many were automatically emailed to customers.
