Invoice Line Items and How to Generate an Invoice

An invoice line item is a single entry on an invoice. In general, an invoice can have multiple line items representing the individual billing items of the invoice.

Within Wisenet, these are created manually using the Finance Items Dropdown Lists. Finance Items will allow multiple items to be associated with a single Fee Type, which links the account code/description and tax rate to the items.

Follow the instructions below on how to create Invoice Line Items before proceeding with generating an invoice.

Required LRM Access: Owner & Admin

1

Create Line Items
  1. Navigate to LRM > Finance > Settings
  2. Click on Finance Items
  3. On the Action Menu, click Add Finance Item

On the Add Finance Item drawer:

  1. Enter an Item Name & Code
    • Note: The Item Name does not appear on your invoice. This are used for internal identification purpose only.
  2. Enter a Line Item Description
    • Line Item Description appears on your invoice as an invoice line item that makes it identifiable for yourself and the recipient.
  3. Enter a Unit Amount (Tax Excl)
    • The Unit Amount is tax-exclusive.
  4. The Unit Amount (Tax Incl) will be auto-calculated depending on the Tax Rate selected in the Fee Type.
  5. Use the toggle to set the Fee Type as Active

Click Save to make them available to be selected when adding line items to invoices.
