Your revenue is posted to the account registered on the article from your article register. When you add a new article you need to select what sales category the article belongs to. Based on the details saved on the article, the program will help you post the revenue in correct account when you send an invoice. It is important to distinguish between goods and services and different VAT rates.

The attachment will be saved with the invoice if you choose to save it as a draft and after you have sent the invoice to the customer. The attachment must be in PDF format. You can add a maximum of 4 attachments per invoice with a maximum size of 5 MB per attachment.

If you have sold goods and want to offer the customer a discount, you can do this by adding negative lines to the invoice. For example, if you offer "buy 3 for the price of 2", you add an article line to the invoice where you enter 3 in the Quantity column. On the next line, you add the same article, but enter -1 in the Quantity column. This way, the customer can clearly see on the invoice that you deducted the discount.

Note the following:

• It is not possible to set a negative value to the unit price.
• It is only possible to post the invoice if its total amount is a positive value.
• If you credit an invoice that includes a negative line, the negative line will become positive on the credit note. However, it is only possible to post the credit note if its total amount is a negative value.
• If you have integration with Visma Verkkokauppa, the minus article does not affect the stock balance.

If you want to set a fixed discount for a customer you can add a discount percentage as a Customer discount in the customer view and the discount will be added on all articles this customer is invoiced for. On the invoice, you can also set the discount to a fixed amount by clicking the blue box inside the Discount field. The discount you add on the article row will be the total discount for that article, regardless of quantity.
