**Filling Out the Invoice Form**

1. **Invoice Number & Date**: The system automatically generates these details for accuracy and traceability. You can edit the invoice date if necessary, but you must provide a justification for any changes as per governance best practices.
2. **Customer Purchase Order Number**: If applicable, input the customer's purchase order number to align with their records.
3. **Payment Terms**: Define the payment terms, indicating the number of days the customer has to settle the invoice. For cash sales, set this term to zero.
4. **Due Date Calculation**: The app calculates the invoice's due date based on the invoice date and the payment terms.
5. **Customer Selection**: Choose an existing customer from the dropdown menu or add a new customer profile with the necessary details.

**Adding Products or Services**

1. Use the **"Add Products"** or **"Add Services"** button to include the items or services provided.
2. For businesses with multiple warehouses, ensure you select the correct warehouse and input the ordered quantity.

**Reimbursement/Disbursements**

For service-oriented businesses, utilize the **"Add Reimbursement/Disbursements"** feature to handle expenses incurred on behalf of the customer, aligning them with the appropriate accounts for accurate financial tracking.

**Bank Account Details**

* Include your designated bank account details on the invoice to facilitate direct transfers or payments through a gateway.
* If preferred, hide these details by selecting the "no display" option in your business profile settings.

**Additional Invoice Information**

* Utilize the **"Remarks"** field to communicate any additional information to the customer.

2. Close the invoice to mark it as "pending" if a pro-forma is not needed.
