An invoice is a document used to request payment for delivered goods or services. It contains essential details such as items, prices, discounts, payment terms, and tax-related information.

If you have already created an order confirmation and/or a dispatch notification, it is recommended to create the invoice from the latest document. This ensures that all previously made changes are automatically applied.

If the “Create Invoice” button is not available, check:

  • Whether an invoice has already been sent (then available under “More Options”).
  • Whether your connection with the trading partner is set up for invoices.
