How to create a sales receipt:
To create a sales invoice, all you need to do is click on the + from the top of the Holded page and then click on sales invoice. Below is a step by step on how to create a sales invoice and what to include
Contacts
- Assign a contact to the sales invoice (this needs to be the contact you wish to address the invoice to). To do this you can either search for a contact or you can create a new contact directly from this field.
- Select the date and due date from the calendar option
Concepts
A Concept is referring to either a product or service you are charging in the Invoice. So this can be a product or service within Holded, or a unique entry that you add for that invoice. For example, if you were charging a customer for the management of a project, you could add the name of the project and the price associated with this.
- Add a description - this will be displayed in the sales invoice, below the Concept field.
- Enter the quantity in the Amount text box and the price per item in the Price text box. You can also enter a discount and taxes to this line.
- The Total will be calculated automatically depending on the amount, price, discount and tax values you've entered.
- To add another concept line, all you need to do is click on Add line (located below the concept box)
Visible messages and payment methods

Dynamic words are are text replacements that are automatically adjusted according to a contact's information. For example, you can use [name] for example, and this will display a specific contacts name. You can use sending your documents, invoices, quotes, sales orders, and additional documents, Dynamic Words can really improve your efficiency.
