Invoices in CRM are typically created from Sales Orders and record the amounts owed, tax applied, and payment due date.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>What is the Invoices Module in Zoho CRM?<\/h2>\n<p>The Invoices Module in Zoho CRM is the final stage of the quote-to-cash process inside the CRM. An Invoice is generated from a <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sales-orders-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Sales Order<\/a> and records the formal payment request to the customer. It includes line items, applicable taxes, total amount, payment terms, and due date.<\/p>\n<p>For businesses that use Zoho Books for accounting, invoice management is better handled there. The Invoices Module in CRM is most useful for companies that want a lightweight billing view inside the CRM without a full accounting integration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Invoice Statuses<\/h2>\n<p>Invoices move through: Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue, Cancelled. Status changes can drive <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workflow-rule-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Workflow Rules<\/a> &#8211; for example, sending an overdue payment reminder automatically when an Invoice passes its due date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Professional Services:<\/strong> A software implementation firm completes a project milestone. The project manager converts the Sales Order to an Invoice in Zoho CRM, marks the relevant line items as delivered, and sends the invoice PDF to the client directly from the CRM. Payment status is updated when the client pays.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sales-orders-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Sales Orders Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/quotes-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Quotes Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/products-module-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Products Module<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/account-zoho-crm\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Account<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Invoices Module in Zoho CRM?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Invoices Module in Zoho CRM is used to generate billing documents for customers after goods or services are delivered.
