Information notes: types of invoices
In the next webinar on billing on June 22 and 23, we will delve deeper into billing in Inmotek and to do so we consider it important to remember some concepts as they will be reflected in the application.
Inmotek will allow you to create 3 types of invoices (out of the 6 existing ones):
1. Ordinary invoices:
This type of invoice is proof of an economic transaction, whether it be a sale or the provision of a service.
You must collect all the necessary information about the transaction: address of the issuer, recipient, transaction amount, etc.
You should know that other types of invoices only serve the purpose of modifying or speeding up the procedure for this one. Therefore, they are issued using the ordinary invoice as a basis.
2. Proforma invoices:
The proforma invoice is equivalent to a budget or commercial offer and therefore has no value for tax purposes. It cannot be used as proof of a transaction or as a purchase guarantee, and it has no accounting value.
It usually contains the same information as a regular one. The only difference is the numerical series, which must be different. The most important thing is that its “proforma” nature must be specifically mentioned.
3. Rectifying invoice:
Until the Invoicing Regulations came into force, they were known as credit invoices. This is a type of sales invoice but with a negative sign and is used when we have made an error in the original invoice or when we have added some data to it.
You must be clear that rectifying an invoice or cancelling it is not the same thing.
