Invoices

When you create an invoice it is not editable after you have saved it. To change it you will need to delete it and re-create it

OCAT Will create an invoice with the quantities, prices etc from the original order. If you want to partly invoice simply change the quantities and at a later date you can create a second invoice

In some EU countries deleting invoices is forbidden by law. OCAT Currently doesn’t support credit notes. In this case you will need to use your accounts system for invoices and credit notes
