How to create Self Bill Invoices

Walkthrough guide

This tutorial will discuss how to create invoices for suppliers who are categorised as 'self-bill' within the supplier configuration settings (see How to add a Supplier).

Navigate to 'Supplier Payments' and then 'Create Purchase Invoices'. Near the top of the page, you will see a drop-down field, which should be changed to 'Self Bill Invoice'. The 'Supplier' field should be changed to the supplier for which you would like to generate a self-bill invoice. A list of timesheets for which a purchase invoice has not yet been raised should now be displayed. 

The 'Filter' field can be used to filter based on whether a sales invoice has already been produced for the corresponding timesheets (see How to create a Sales Invoice).

If the 'All' button is selected, you will see both green ticks and red exclamation symbols to the right of the invoice lines, indicating whether they have been included in a sales invoice already or not. 

Select the timesheets that you would like to include in the invoice by using the tick boxes on each line. Then, enter the 'Document Date' and 'Payment Date' that should appear on the invoice, before clicking on the blue 'Create remittance advices from selected timesheets' button.

The selected timesheets will disappear from the list and the new purchase invoice will be created and available to view within the 'Undelivered Purchase Invoices' section.

The next step is to deliver the invoices. For guidance on how to do this, please move on to the tutorial How to deliver Purchase Invoices.
