The three documents of the sales cycle, linked to each other. A goods return issues the matching credit note.
Lines, discounts and taxes carry over. The quote stays on file and the invoice carries its reference.
Registration numbers, VAT, contact details: set the particulars once and every document carries them.
A list by due date, an ageing balance, and reminders driven by the calendar rather than by luck.

-
02
Convert it
The customer accepts: the quote becomes a sale then an invoice, without retyping a line.
-
03
Collect and chase
The payment applies to the document. What is still owed shows in the ageing balance.
What you can do with it
Prefix, length and reset are set per type. The sequence stays unbroken, which is the first thing an audit checks.
Several layouts, your logo, your terms, and a verification QR code on the PDF.
The invoice leaves on the channel the customer actually answers, PDF attached and the send logged.
A deposit, a balance, three instalments: each payment is applied and the remaining amount recalculates.
The customer pays online from the document itself, and the payment comes back and applies itself.

What an invoice must carry here
An invoice issued in Senegal carries the issuer’s full identity (legal name, tax and trade registration numbers, address), the line detail, the VAT rate and amount, and unbroken numbering. These are set once in company settings and follow every document. The PDF’s QR code lets whoever receives it verify where it came from.
Common questions
Can I keep my current numbering?
Yes. Prefix, length and next number are set per document type, so you resume the sequence where your previous system left it.
Is VAT handled?
Yes. Rates are declared at company level and can be overridden per product or per line, exemptions included. The amount shows on the document and feeds the books.
Can the customer pay from the invoice?
Yes, with online payments switched on: the invoice carries a link, the customer pays by mobile money or card, and the payment applies itself.
What about recurring invoices?
Not automated yet. A monthly subscription is re-invoiced today by duplicating last month’s document: quick, but manual. Recurring billing is on the roadmap; it has not shipped.
