What is sales invoice? Meaning and explanation

A sales invoice is the invoice your client sends to its own customers. In the books it creates a receivable from the debtor, the amount excluding VAT is posted as revenue and the VAT as VAT payable. A sales invoice must meet the statutory invoice requirements, such as a sequential invoice number, the invoice date, the seller's VAT number and the VAT rate applied.

For a firm, sales invoices are the basis for revenue and VAT payable. If the client creates invoices in a separate program or in Word, they still have to be delivered and processed, and revenue does not always reconcile with the administration. Missing or duplicate sales invoices lead to errors in the VAT return and to receivables that do not add up.

Autoboeker processes delivered sales invoices for all four packages, for example via a sales email address per administration. There is also the invoicing module: your client creates invoices and quotes in the client portal, with automatic numbering, payment via iDEAL through Mollie or the EPC payment QR code, and automatic reminders. Every invoice sent appears directly in the administration in Exact Online, SnelStart, Twinfield or e-Boekhouden.
