Invoices

Invoices in Svalog are issued straight from an order or on their own — as a polished PDF and as a compliant EN 16931 / e-SLOG e-invoice your accountant and the tax office accept. See what's paid, partially paid or overdue at a glance, and send reminders without leaving the page.

Creating an Invoice

Invoices are created from the Ship & Invoice flow or manually via Invoices → New Invoice.

  • Select a customer and set the invoice date.
  • Payment terms determine the due date automatically (Invoice Date + Payment Terms days).
  • Add line items the same way as quotes and sales orders.
  • Customer Notes — Printed on the invoice PDF.
  • Internal Notes — Internal only, not printed.

Invoice Actions

Actions available on the invoice detail page:

  • Download PDF — Generates the PDF. Draft → Sent.
  • Send Email — Emails the PDF to the customer. Draft → Sent.
  • Record Payment — Opens the payment form.
  • Send Payment Reminder — Re-sends the invoice PDF with a reminder message. Only available on unpaid or overdue invoices.
  • Create Credit Note — Opens the credit note form pre-filled from this invoice.

  • Change Status / Cancel — Manager/admin only.
  • Delete — Draft invoices with no payments only (manager/admin).

Invoice Statuses

Invoice statuses update automatically as payments are recorded:

  • Draft → Sent → Paid / Partially Paid / Overdue or Cancelled.
  • If the due date passes and the invoice is not fully paid, it becomes Overdue.
  • Full amount paid → Paid. Partial payment → Partially Paid.

E-Invoice (XML)

In addition to the PDF, invoices and credit notes can be exported as a structured EN 16931 e-invoice in XML. On the invoice detail page, click Download XML.

  • EN 16931 CII — the base European e-invoicing standard, used for cross-border invoices.
  • e-SLOG 2.0 — the Slovenian national standard, selected automatically when both your company and the customer are in Slovenia.

The standard is chosen automatically from the seller and buyer country. You can force a fixed default under Settings → E-Invoicing. The XML is validated before download; if required company or customer fields are missing, the download is blocked and the missing fields are listed.

Every generated XML is kept permanently in the XML Archive (Accounting module) for audit and resending.
