Create an Invoice
Step-by-step guide to creating a professional invoice in Tetri Copilot.
Overview
Creating an invoice in Tetri Copilot is straightforward. You select the customer, add line items for the products or services you are billing for, set a due date, and save. You can then send the invoice directly or download it as a PDF.
How to Create an Invoice
- 1
Go to Revenue โ Invoices.
- 2
Click Create Invoice (top right).
- 3
Select the customer from the dropdown. If the customer does not exist yet, add them first.
- 4
Set the Invoice Date (defaults to today).
- 5
Set the Due Date (calculated based on payment terms, but you can override it).
- 6
Add line items โ click Add Line Item to add each product or service.
- 7
For each line item, enter a description, quantity, and unit price.
- 8
Review the subtotal and tax calculation at the bottom.
- 9
Optionally add a note, terms, or payment instructions (these appear on the PDF).
- 10
Click Save โ the invoice is created as a Draft.
- 11
When you are ready, Issue the invoice to finalize it, then Send it to email the customer a PDF.
Tip
Invoices are created as a Draft so you can review them. Issuing locks the invoice number; sending emails the customer a PDF copy. You can also Download PDF at any time.
