Creating an invoice
Once the project is set up correctly and the hours are logged, it's time for the next step: invoicing for the hours worked. Below we'll explain step by step how to do this for a self-billing invoice:
Go to Financial and choose self-billing
Choose +new self-billing invoice. A pop-up window will appear
Select the desired contractor
Choose which period you want to invoice for
Select the desired description method
Optionally add an attachment
Click create. The invoice has been created!
Sending the invoice
The invoice has been created, but it's still a draft. The next step is to send the invoice to finalize it. The invoice has the pre-set invoice layout and information. If they're not correct, edit the invoice to correct them. Click send to finalise the invoice!
Once the invoice is created, the freelancer will receive it via email. The self-billing invoice can also be found in their personal dashboard.
Resolving incorrect invoices
Sometimes, the invoice may not turn out as expected. Below we explain how to fix it! 😄
Internal instead of my contact details are listed
The freelancer's hours are being invoiced to the internal client. You can find this under the 'Relationships' tab. Search for the 'internal' client and change the information to your organization's details.There is a 0 amount on the invoice
This means that the freelancer's purchasing rate hasn't been filled in. Go to the project where self-billing is activated and select the 'Employees' tab. Fill in the purchasing hourly rate for the freelancer.
The freelancer's information is incorrect
You can fill in the freelancer's information under the employee tab. Go to the HRM tab and search for the desired employee. Select 'Edit' and go to the self-billing tab. Here you can enter the correct information.
