Sending a sales invoice

How do I create and send an invoice?

Log into Laskumappi with the user credentials given to you with your registration. It is always advised that you change your password on first login.

When logging in for the first time, make sure that your company information is correct in the Tools tab > Settings. Tools can be found in the top right corner of the page. To be able to send invoices from Laskumappi, your company’s bank account number must be saved in the system under Bank accounts. This is to ensure that the account number appears on your sales invoices and allows your customers to use correct details when making a payment.

To draft and send a new invoice, select Sales invoice in the top right corner of the page. Start by entering the recipient’s information: name, business id and billing address. If required, you can also add separate postal and delivery addresses.

By selecting  ‘+’ next to Address info, you can view your company’s details and update if needed. You can minimize this and any other section on the ‘Create sales invoice’ view by clicking the ‘–‘ symbol. The link ‘Change your default values here’ above the draft invoice takes you straight to Tools > Settings where you can update all your company details.

In the billing-details section, you can amend for example the invoice date and number as well as enter additional references.

Under the Payment-section you can select the correct account number if more than one has been saved in the company details previously. Here you can also apply discounts and payment terms as well as create a credit note.

The billable items, or line items, are added under the invoice details. You can save items in your product record so that they can easily be added onto invoices. Once you have saved products in the catalogue, you just need to select the product code in the line items and rest of the details on the row are populated automatically. Just make sure to add the Amount and specify the Units and possible discounts and select the correct VAT if more than one has been saved. You can also easily amend details such as the price in this view. By clicking the ‘+’ symbol under the word ‘Rows’, you can add more line items on the invoice.

Finally, make sure to carefully review the draft invoice on the right and make any necessary changes before sending the invoice by selecting Send in the top left corner of this view. Once sent, the invoice will appear in the Traffic-tab.
