Overview
A sales invoice represents the financial charge to a customer for one or many shipments. A single sales invoice can cover a single shipment, a group of shipments related to the same sale order, or all shipments to a single customer in a single month.
Prices and values: The prices and values on an invoice come from the source shipment(s). These cannot be changed. You can add a non-stock line to an invoice to cover charges such as freight, but you cannot add or change stocked lines on any invoices. Stocked lines are controlled at the shipment level.
Invoice dates: By default, the sales invoice date is set to the same as the shipment date. You can change this date if necessary - for example, you can give a customer extended trading terms by moving the invoice date to the next month.
Related shipments: The Shipments tab on an invoice shows all shipments covered by that invoice. A single invoice can contain many sales shipments, but each shipment can only be on one invoice.
