Create an Order

3 min read

Create an order for a client by hand, with pricing, details and team, and its invoice.

Create an order yourself when a client orders by email, phone or in person. An unpaid invoice is created with it, so you can bill straight away.

Overview

This guide goes through the Create order form, section by section.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open the form

    Go to Orders and click Add Order, or use New Order in the + menu at the top.

  2. Choose the client and service

    Pick the client under Select Client and what they are ordering under Select Service. Only active services are listed. If the service has pricing options, choose one.

    Pricing shows the service price. Add a Discount ($) or Tax as a fixed amount or a percentage. The total must be more than zero. Order Summary shows what will be created.
