Quoting & Invoicing

Easy Invoicing

Create professional invoices quickly and easily using Accounting and find out how easy it is to manage what your customers owe you and how to get paid faster.

Convert quotations to invoices at the click of a button and use the nifty Use Last Invoice Detail option to quickly and easily generate a new invoice based on the details of the customer's last invoice. Use the Accounting Custom Layout Designer to create your own professional, customised invoice layouts.

The Custom Layout Designer is a Windows application that can be downloaded and used to design customer and supplier invoice and statement layouts.

Recurring Invoicing

You can create recurring invoices quickly and easily for each customer that needs to pay you the same amount each month.

You create your recurring invoice once, specify the frequency and the invoice detail, and your invoices will be emailed automatically to each customer for you. Or you can save your recurring invoices as draft invoices for individual finalisation before sending! The Accounting message centre will alert you to any draft invoices that need you attention after a recurring invoice run.

Convert your data

But, what if you’re an already existing business? How do you convert?

There’s information in your “old” set of books that needs to be captured in Accounting - whether your old system was a manual set of books, a spreadsheet, one of our Pastel desktop products or some other accounting software system.

Bank Feeds

Setup Bank Feeds which allow you to automatically import bank statements into your Accounting bank or credit card accounts from banks and other financial institutions. This saves you having to manually import your bank statements.

Each day when you login to your company, any new transactions available in your bank statement will be available for review in the Bank Statements screen. You will save even more time by mapping transactions where Accounting will automatically assign the correct accounts each time your automated bank statements are refreshed. Managing your bank account could not be easier!

 Split your transaction lines when processing to your bank or credit card to allocate a single transaction to more than one account. For example, you may want to split a rates and taxes payment between rates and water accounts.
