Creating a New Invoice

While creating an invoice from an Order is possible, the best practice workflow is to create the Invoice from a Despatch Docket.

Creating an Invoice from a Despatch Docket

This is the recommended workflow in most cases. When you create an invoice from a Despatch Docket, the Invoice will contain the despatched qty of items as opposed to the qty of items in the original Order. This process works well for both despatching in full and part order/backorder scenarios.

1. To create an invoice from a Despatch Docket, click the Create Invoice link in the Despatch List View.

Or click the Create Invoice button in the Despatch Details View for a single Despatch Docket.

Once created, the new Invoice will be opened for editing. Please take a look at the article on editing an invoice for more information.

Creating an Invoice from a Job

As mentioned above, it is also possible to create a Despatch Docket directly from an Order.

1. Click the + Invoice button.

Once created, the new Invoice will be opened for editing. Please take a look at the article on editing an invoice for more information.

Sending Invoice to your Accounting System

M-Power currently supports both MYOB and Xero as accounting system integrations. Invoices, Credits and Supplier Bills can be exported from M-Power to the accounting system to avoid  having to input the  data twice. M-Power also includes various tools to check for variances between the two systems.

For more information, please see the articles on MYOB and Xero directly.
