Learn How to Create Invoices for Your Customers

Companies need to create invoices to request clients for payment for providing the services requested or delivery of goods ordered.
However, to do that, it is good to know the process of business transactions first.

Usually the process of a general business transaction is as below:
1. Customer Request for a Quotation - A Quotation is prepared by the Company for the Customer
2. Customer Accepts Quotation - A Purchase Order (PO) is prepared by the Customer for the Company
3. Company Delivers the Goods/Services per the PO - A Delivery Order (DO) or Service Order is given to the Customer
4. Company Request for Payment - An Invoice is prepared by the Company for the Customer
5. Customer Pays for Invoice - A receipt is prepared by the Company for the Customer
​The process can be simplified or more complicated depending on the service/product and industry.
