Do I need to send sales invoices to customers?
Making and sending sales invoices to your clients is an important aspect of your business operations. The main reasons for sending sales invoices include:
- Payment Tracking – Keep track of payments and encourage on-time payments by clients with sales invoices. A sales invoice should clearly state what amount your client owes you and payment instructions including payment deadline and your accepted methods of payment.
- Professionalism – Sending professional sales invoices to clients shows that you’re organized and take your business seriously. Having strong invoicing processes establishes trust with your client because you formalize clear expectations for payment.
- Record Keeping – Sales invoices provide a clear record of the products or services that you have sold, prices charged, and sale dates. This information helps you track your sales and income which is important for business accounting including filing your taxes.
- Dispute Resolution – Detailed sales invoices can be critical to help resolve any payment disputes or terms of the sale. This is important especially if you get queries over quality of the goods or services provided. Good sales invoices should have terms and conditions clauses to protect your business.
How do I make a simple sales invoice?
A sales invoice needs to have all the information for customers to pay you. The information to put on a sales invoice includes:
- Your contact and business information
- Your customer’s contact information
- Unique invoice number
- Invoice issue date
- Invoice payment due date
- Itemized list of sale items including any goods or services
- Any expenses incurred that will be passed onto the client. Sales invoices generally relate to products or goods but you might need to include charges for delivery services by a third party. You should attach any relevant receipts as proof to your customer.
- Quantity of products
- Costs of the products
- Any tax payable
- Total amount payable by your customer
- How the payment is structured including any initial deposit amounts required
- Accepted payment methods including bank transfer, credit card, cash and more. Ensure that you include your business bank account details for payment if required.
- Any additional information like delivery timelines
- Terms and conditions including any returns policies, warranties or clauses about resolving questions around quality of goods provided.
