An invoice is a document sent from a seller to a buyer when it’s time for the buyer to pay for the provided goods or services. In the US, businesses are required to keep a record of all of their sales and income, which can come in a variety of forms including invoices and receipts. Therefore, an invoice is important for a business owner to keep a detailed record of their sales for accounting purposes, but also for the buyer in the case of any disputes.

An invoice is not mandatory for business-to-consumer (B2C) sales, so a payment receipt may be the only document you need to issue. However, if a customer (consumer) asks you to send them an invoice, you should issue one.

  • In the US, there are no specific requirements for how you format your invoice numbers. However for accounting purposes, the numbers should be sequential and not include any gaps.
  • Invoices may be required for certain business-to-business (B2B) sales, and if your business imports or exports goods. You should check with your state government for your local invoicing requirements.
  • nine-digit number consisting of five digits, a hyphen, and four digits, which the USPS describes by its trademark ZIP+4. The correct format for a numeric ZIP+4 code is five digits, a hyphen, and four digits.
  • If an invoice is Validated, has an associated payment and there is the need to cancel it you have to unbind the payment first;
  • That movement is called deconciliation;
  • When you validate a sale order and see that the items are divide in two or more pickings is because of the selected options when you created the sales order:
    • If you selected Delivery each item when it's available, pickings will be created as the items get available;
    • If you selected Deliver all items at once, it'll create a picking with all the items;
  • It's because the invoice has the value 0;
  • When an invoice is put in open it's because there is an amount that needs a payment;
  • When  the invoice has the amount 0 and a payment is not needed, the invoice gets the payed state;
