If you want to use the invoice module of TimeChimp, create your invoice in Financial, send it to the customer, and then select the invoice by checking the line again.

Products

It is possible to create products in SevDesk, so that the linked invoice lines are automatically linked to the correct VAT percentage and category (including the correct general ledger account).

Choose a standard product in TimeChimp on the SevDesk settings page. Additionally, you can also link a product to an activity or expense category (when editing this activity/category).
