Before you know how to make a sales invoice, it’s good to first recognize what a sales invoice is. Sales invoice or often known as sales invoice, is proof of transaction in the form of a bill or invoice issued by the seller to the buyer. The purpose is to state that goods or services have been purchased, either in cash or credit payments. Receiving sales invoices is part of the billing process to customers who have received goods from the seller. Based on the type, sales invoices are divided into 4 parts, here are the details:
Standard Invoice
This type is widely used because it is flexible in the sense that it only contains basic information components.
Proforma Invoice
Is a type of invoice that is given to the seller and buyer before the goods or services are provided to the buyer. In other words, this invoice is a reminder for customers to pay bills.
International Commercial Invoices
Serves as documentation on international trade, and is tax information of customs value. Usually used for imported goods transactions.
Invoice Repeating
These invoices are generated automatically and on a scheduled basis, and serve as billing to customers for a certain period. The four types of sales invoices above can be customized according to the needs of the seller and buyer. In addition to these four types, there is one different invoice, which is an automated invoice. This type of invoice works automatically using computers and internet networks. This type of invoice is perfect for KH Pals who want to be simple and practical in making sales invoices. You only need to input data regularly every time there is a sales transaction, especially for credit sales. There are two simple ways to create sales invoices, namely, manually and using computer software such as Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs, online accounting software or use online invoicing applications. Although there are no standard rules in making sales invoices, KH Friends at least contain sales invoice columns that contain the following components:
- Company identity, which includes the company name, address, phone number and logo.
- Identity of the buyer, including name, address and contact phone number.
- Transaction number or invoice code, this information is very important for sellers to distinguish between other transactions.
- Transaction date, looks trivial but this one information is no less important.
- Sales transaction amount, is information that includes the sub-total, VAT, as well as the total that the buyer has to pay to the seller.
- Item details, KH pals can write a description of the items that have been sold, then the unit price, and additional discount info is also needed.
- The name and signature of the cashier, not forgetting also the signature of the consumer.This is to show an agreement between the two parties, and both know
Sales invoices are very important to keep company transactions recorded in detail so that they can be used for better company accounting processes. Sales invoices that are well recorded and controlled, will make it easier for companies to make financial reports, both monthly and annual reports. If KH Friend wants to make a large number of sales invoices, it is more effective to use application assistance. This is to avoid human error that causes administrative errors. How easy is it?
