Introduction

• As a business owner, you work hard on your
  products and services to make your business a
  success.
• The invoicing and payment activities must be
  taken equally seriously, so the payments come on
  time and the business can be run smoothly.
• An online invoice makes the process of invoicing
  simpler and more efficient.

4
Your Detailed Contact Information

• The customers who receive your invoice, may have
  queries or issues related to the invoice. They
  may wish to ask questions related to the terms
  and conditions of the invoice.
• Contact information is a very important aspect of
  an invoice and must be added. Important email
  addresses and contact numbers must not be missed
  out.

5
The Purchase Order Number

• There are other businesses who make the mistake
  of not adding a purchase order number to their
  invoice.
• Adding a PO number to an invoice is very
  important, specially when a large number of
  invoices are being generated.
• Queries can be easily resolved from the buyer or
  the suppliers end, using this number as the
  reference.

6
Invoice Tracking

• Managing a large number of invoices may become
  really difficult if these invoices are not
  tracked properly. An Invoice status helps you
  know if the payment has been made or pending.
• Tracking of the invoicing process helps you know
  just exactly where is an invoice in the payment
  process.

7
Invoice Notes

• Invoice notes may not seem like an essential part
  of an invoice. It is a very simple tool to send
  out additional information to the client. This
  could be information related to that particular
  invoice or the business in general.
• One can even send out interesting discounts and
  offers in this section and get repeat customers.

8
Due Date

• One of the most important aspects of an invoice
  is a due date. A due date is a constant reminder
  for the client to pay up within a specified time
  period.
• Adding a due date with a credit period that is
  reasonable and in accordance with industry
  standards is essential.

9
Corporate Identity

• Spreading a positive word about the business is
  essential for it to grow. Adding the corporate
  identity to an invoice, ensures that the brand
  message gets reinforced to the existing customers
  of the business.
• This further helps in growth of sales and revenue
  for the business. Invoicera helps in adding your
  brand logo to each of the invoices. It also
  provides the option of customizing the invoice
  completely, so it can reflect the corporate
  identity of the brand, as desired.

Product Description

• Properly filling in the description of goods and
  services sold to the client is extremely
  important. This helps the client understand about
  the nature of his purchase in great detail and
  without any confusion. Taxes and discounts, if
  any, must also be properly mentioned on the
  invoice.
• Properly adding descriptions on each of the
  invoices, helps in reducing the number of invoice
  disputes.

11
Invoice Number

• An invoice number is another very important
  aspect of a business invoice. This invoice number
  helps in tracking invoices, resolving queries and
  helps in detailed analysis of invoices.
• Adding customized invoice numbers which carry
  month and date helps in tracking them according
  to the date on which they were sent.

12
Late Fee

• Timely payments is what every business owner
  expects from clients. If payments are late, the
  cash flow suffers and so does the business.
• Despite all measures, each business faces the the
  problem of delayed payments. One interesting
  method of getting the clients to pay up on time
  is a late fee.

13
Invoice Scheduling

• Sending invoices in a timely manner is very
  important for getting paid on time.
• The invoice scheduling feature of Invoicera helps
  in sending invoices on a future date and ensuring
  they are sent on time.
