MoneyWorks Manual
Printing and emailing Sales Invoices
There are two ways to print/email sales invoices:
- By setting the Print option on while the transaction is open on the screen. When the transaction is accepted, the print process will commence;
- By highlighting the invoice(s) in the Transactions list and choosing Print Sales Invoice from the Command menu (or press Ctrl-[/⌘-[), or clicking the Print Invoice toolbar button.
Note: Users who have the MoneyWorks Privilege option Print Unposted Invoice turned off will not be able to print an invoice unless it has been posted.
Note: Transactions that have been printed (or emailed) have a printer icon in the P (for Printed) column of the Transactions list. Click on the field heading to sort the invoices—the unprinted invoices will be at the top of the list if it is sorted in descending order.
Another way to send invoices is to eInvoice using the PEPPOL standard (not available in all countries). E-invoicing means that the invoice you send will automatically appear in your customer's accounting system (even if they are not enlightened enough to be using MoneyWorks), provided that the customer is also using e-invoicing. See E-Invoicing.
When printing/emailing an invoice, the Print Sales Invoices window will open.
- Choose the form to be used for formatting the invoice from the Use Form pop-up menu
- Enter any text in the optional Message edit box
This message will be printed on all the invoices being printed. You can type up to 80 characters into this edit box.
- Check the Print “Copy” if Already Printed option if you are reprinting an invoice
If this option is checked and the invoice has already been printed, the words “Copy of” appear next to Tax Invoice1. This is useful if the debtor requests another copy of the invoice.
If the invoice has not already been printed this is ignored.
Note: If this is the first time that you have printed an invoice, you should click the Layout button to check the positioning and paper size.
- Click Print to print the invoice
The standard Print dialog box will be displayed, allowing you to set the number of copies.
If you are using a Plain invoice, and if the Print this Logo and/or Print Address & Phone Nos options in the Company Setup window have been checked, the company logo and/or address details will be printed at the top of the invoice. You may want to print the invoice on letterhead which contains these details. In this case, you should ensure that the options are off and that the top margin in the page setup is large enough that your letterhead is not overprinted.
