Your team must review Order invoices, reimburse travel and close a month while preserving original issued documents.

Lesson 1

Original Order invoices

Open Finance → Invoices to view, print or download documents already issued for Orders. Finance does not create, review or issue a second invoice. The original document number and issued snapshot remain unchanged. Manage fulfilment, payments and returns through the source Order or commerce/POS workspace. Business identity and tax configuration continue to support the source document lifecycle.

Lesson 2

Balanced and traceable books

Invoice issue debits receivables and credits sales and output tax. A verified receipt debits cash or bank and credits receivables. Expense approval debits expense and eligible recoverable input tax, then credits payables. Each source key prevents duplicate posting.

Lesson 3

Closing and corrections

Issued invoice snapshots stay fixed. Item-level returns reverse only the accepted original net value and tax. Separate Refunds and Credit notes allocate the return payable; partial credit redemptions retain their balance. Use Returns & credits for physical inspection and financial adjustments. Legacy full-invoice credits remain available for historical records. Locking books through a date prevents backdated postings. Exports are bookkeeping evidence, not acknowledged statutory filing.
