Retail Sales Receipt

When selling goods to private individuals, you are required to issue a “Sales receipt” (myDATA document type 11.1). Typically, sales receipts must be specially marked for taxation purposes. Elorus integrates with SoftOne EINVOICING, a certified provider of electronic invoicing services, to issue legally stamped receipts.

First lets create a contact so there is someone to bill. Since the case is a “Retail Sales Receipt” no VAT number is needed and only minimal contact information will be used. In a business context, contacts are individuals or businesses whom you transact with; typically your clients, leads, suppliers and partners. Since Elorus will let you manage your sales as well as your expenses, a contact may represent either a client or a supplier (or even both).
