• Reports — financial statements and analysis
• Accounting Settings — Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts, Periods (see separate page)

Navigate to Finance → Sales Invoices.

A Sales Invoice is an invoice you issue to a client. The list and filter structure is identical to Vendor Bills but shows outgoing invoices.

Date, Tenant, Client, Invoice Number, Amount, Open, Status, Actions

Same column layout as Vendor Bills. The Supplier column label changes to the client's name. Filters (Search, Status, Tenant, Period, Export) work identically.

2. Fill in: Tenant, Client (Partner), Invoice Date, Due Date, line items (description, amount, VAT code, GL account).
3. Save.

Sales Invoice creation form — tenant and client selectors, date fields, line items

From the invoice list you can:

• View — open the invoice detail
• Edit — update the invoice (only if status allows)
• Pay — open the payment creation form linked to this invoice
• Manage Access — grant specific users access to this invoice record
• Delete — remove (only if status allows)

Navigate to Finance → Payments.

The Payments list records all payment transactions — both incoming (from clients) and outgoing (to suppliers).

Payments list — columns visible, filter bar, action buttons

Payments can be created from the invoice “Pay” button, or entered directly in this section. Each payment links back to the relevant invoice or vendor bill, updating its Open amount.

Navigate to Finance → Vouchers.

Vouchers are manual general ledger journal entries — used for accounting corrections, provisions, accruals, or any transaction not covered by an invoice.

Vouchers list — table of manual journal entries, columns include date, reference, description, status

1. In the Vouchers list, add a new voucher.
2. Enter the date, reference, and the debit/credit lines (account, amount, description).
3. The entry must balance (total debits = total credits).
4. Book the voucher to post it to the general ledger.

Voucher creation form — date, reference, accounting lines table with account and amount columns

Navigate to Finance → Vouchers → Fast Create.

Fast Create is a shortcut for frequently repeated journal entries. Pre-defined templates fill in the account structure automatically — you only supply the variable fields (amount, date, counterparty).

Voucher Fast Create page — template selector, variable fields below

Navigate to Finance → Reports.

The Reports section provides standard financial statements. Each report lets you select a date range and tenant before generating.
