Bill the customer and record the payment that closes out the invoice.

Steps

  1. Open the delivery note (or sales order)
  2. Click "Make → Sales Invoice"
  3. Review the invoice details
  4. Save the invoice
  5. Click "Receive Payment"
  6. Record the amount received — the invoice is now paid

The invoice is where the sales cycle turns into real accounts receivable — the point Redovix records that a customer genuinely owes you money, distinct from having merely ordered or received something.

Two documents, one workflow

Saving the invoice and receiving payment are deliberately separate, exactly as billing and paying were on the procurement side. An unpaid invoice still counts as a real receivable on your reports — that's the point of splitting it out, rather than only recognizing revenue once cash actually arrives.

Receive Payment is where the loop closes: select the customer, see what's outstanding, and record what came in. A payment can be partial — the invoice stays open for the remainder — or it can cover the full balance, which is what marks it fully paid.

Tips

  • You can invoice directly from a sales order without a delivery note in between, for businesses that bill before or without a separate shipping step.
  • A partial payment is fully supported — record whatever actually came in, and the remaining balance stays visible on the customer's record.
  • Outstanding invoices across all customers, and how overdue they are, are summarized on the dashboard's Aged Receivables panel — a faster check than opening each customer individually.
