Create new invoice

Discover how to create a new invoice in WorldShare Acquisitions.

Workflows and invoices for monographs

Workflows

The Acquisitions module allows a variety of receiving and invoicing workflows.

Once an item is ordered, users can do the following for each copy of the item:

  • Receive and invoice
  • Receive then invoice
  • Invoice then receive

Invoicing and paying

Invoicing is adding an item to an invoice. Paying the invoice is a separate action (For information on paying, see Pay an invoice).

Once you have added an item to an invoice, you can move it to another invoice by deleting it from the original invoice and adding it to the new invoice.
