An invoice in Zoho Inventory is the bill sent to a customer after goods have been shipped, requesting payment for the items delivered. It is typically generated from a sales order or shipment record and records the amount receivable from the customer.
A sales order is a commitment to sell; an invoice is the request for payment after fulfilment. Many businesses use sales orders for order management and generate invoices at the point of shipment or delivery.
Invoices created in Zoho Inventory sync to Zoho Books as accounts receivable entries. Payments recorded in Books update the invoice status in Inventory. This integration eliminates duplicate data entry across your inventory and accounting systems.
