Your invoices: automatic, and still yours to adjust
Lines, VAT and numbering fill in from the order. You adjust the text, add a personal note and send when it's ready.
Your invoices are your business's calling card. Edit the header, footnotes, line items, VAT breakdown and references until everything's right, then send them out the door with a number.
In short
- Edit the opening text, footer and reference fields before you send
- Add or remove lines by hand, and adjust VAT rates per line
- Create split invoices by percentage or a fixed amount, and generate a balance invoice for what's still outstanding
- Invoices get their sequential number only when they're sent to the customer
- Choose the invoice language from your activated languages (if the languages module is switched on)
- Due date calculated in days from the invoice date
From agreement to invoice
The invoice editor opens from any invoice in your list. You see the whole document: opening text above the price list, footnotes below it, individual lines with their VAT rates, and a reference field for your internal codes or the customer's purchase order number.
Split invoicing is built in
Some customers pay a deposit, others pay in instalments. Mark an invoice as a split invoice, choose a percentage or a fixed amount, and Catermonkey works out the lines. Once the order is complete, you generate the balance invoice and the system shows what's already been invoiced and what balance is still outstanding.
The number is assigned when you send it
Draft invoices stay without a number until you're ready. The moment you send the invoice to the customer, by email or in print, the system assigns the next sequential number. That number is then locked into your accounting export (Exact, Moneybird, Snelstart, Yuki, Twinfield), so your accountant sees a clean, unbroken sequence.
The invoice language per customer
If you've activated the languages module, a dropdown appears in the editor. Select the customer's language and the invoice displays in that language: same details, different words. If you haven't activated the languages module, the invoice uses your system default and the dropdown stays hidden.
What your team does with it
Customer
You receive an invoice in your language, with clear line items, correct VAT and the payment terms you agreed on.
Accounting
Sequential numbering only happens on sending, so your export to Exact or Moneybird is accurate and auditable. Split invoices and credit notes are tracked automatically.
