Start with who and when
- Your business details: name, address, contact, and tax ID if you have one. In Mavri these come from Businesses.
- The customer’s details: name and address, and tax ID where relevant.
- A unique invoice number. Mavri fills in the next one and keeps numbers unique per business, kind, prefix and suffix. Set prefixes in Settings.
- Issue date and due date. A due date removes ambiguity about when payment is expected.
Say exactly what was delivered
Each line needs a description, quantity, unit price and, where it applies, tax. Be specific: “Website design, 12 hours, 14–18 Oct” beats “Services”. Add products you sell often to the Products catalog; type one-off lines freely.
Tax, discounts and shipping
Mavri can add tax on top, treat it as included in the price, or withhold it at document level. You can add a discount, a surcharge or shipping. The totals block then shows subtotal, discount, tax and total, so the client can follow the maths. Which tax applies, and how it must be shown, depends on where you and your client are. Ask an adviser if you are unsure.
How to pay
Add a bank account in Bank accounts and choose it on the invoice so the payment details are printed. State your payment terms in the notes, for example “Payment due within 14 days”.
Notes and terms
Use the notes for a short thank-you, project reference or purchase-order number, and the terms for late-payment or cancellation wording you have agreed with the client.
Check, then send
- Open the invoice view and read it as your client would.
- Check the numbers and dates.
- Use Print / save as PDF and choose Save as PDF as the printer.
- Send it yourself by your usual route. Mavri does not email invoices.
- Record payments when they arrive; the status updates by itself.
