In ProdSys, there are multiple methods available for generating invoices, each designed to cater to different business needs and scenarios. Select invoice calculation method in upper left corner. Below are the available invoicing methods:

  1. Qty (Quantity): This method invoices based on the quantity of items or units ordered or delivered. The user can manually set the quantity to be invoiced, and the system calculates the amount based on the price per unit.

  2. Progress %: This invoicing method is based on the percentage of progress made on a task or project. It is often used in project-based billing, where invoicing is linked to completion percentages (e.g., construction projects or milestones).

  3. Percent: This method allows invoicing based on a percentage of the total order amount. It can be used to invoice a percentage (e.g., 50%) as a down payment or installment on the total project or order value.

  4. Qty Delivered: This method invoices the items or services based on the quantity that has been delivered so far. It is useful for partial deliveries or when invoicing is based on actual deliveries rather than ordered quantities.

  • Adjust Invoice qty if necessary.

  • Select Create

  • This creates and Invoice draft and opens it

Step 4: Finalize the Invoice
