# Create an Invoice

Creating invoices in the system allows you to bill customers accurately, track outstanding amounts, and maintain organized financial records. Invoices connect customer details, products, and payment terms into a single document, making it easier to manage receivables and keep your revenue reporting up to date.

To create an invoice: 

1. Select **+ New** in the upper-right menu. Then, in **Customer**, select **Invoice**.
2. Fill in the invoice details, including:
   * **Customer**
   * (Optional) **Job** 
   * **Terms**
     * Immediate
     * Net 15
     * Net 30
     * Net 60
   * **Transaction Date**
   * **Posting Period**
   * **No.** (invoice number)
   * **Revenue Account**
3. (Optional) Add products by selecting **+ New Item**. Enter the quantity, unit of measure, unit price, total price, and tax if applicable.
4. (Optional) Under **Additional Details**, you can include notes or any extra information relevant to the invoice.
5. Select **Save** to create the invoice.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://docs.crewcost.com/documentation/daily-workflows/accounts-receivable/create-an-invoice.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
