# Create an invoice

An invoice can be created for **unpaid** bookings and product sales. This covers if both a client or admin makes a booking or product sale (so payment is **not** required upfront) and an invoice is to be sent to the client to request payment.

This article covers these scenarios, as well as how you can configure the invoice content.

Invoices for paid bookings or product sales

Once a booking or product sale is paid for, you can then email the invoice to the client as part of the payment process. Please see the [Email an invoice or receipt](/v2/docs/email-an-invoice) article for more details.

> [!NOTE]
> **Australia - can an Invoice double as a Receipt?**
> 
> Although the terminology Invoice vs Receipt may imply whether or not something has been paid or not, in Australia a single document can act as both an invoice and a receipt.

## Booking invoice

Once a booking has been created, you can generate an invoice from the booking detail screen by either viewing or emailing the invoice.

### Steps

1. Navigate to the Booking
2. Select **View Invoice** to preview the invoice, and select **Email Invoice** to email the invoice to the client ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-ZXXFTDUV.png)
3. Once that’s done, an invoice number will appear on the booking, as well as shown in the **History** tab under the Invoice column. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-9Q24EGU8.png)

5. Immediately after you click **Save Invoice**, options to email or print the invoice will appear in the menu and an invoice number is shown on the Sale and on the client’s **History** tab under the Invoice column. This invoice will automatically be linked to the client account. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6926c75e-9b20-4216-bf9f-d7ca1df9c74f/Images/Documentation/image-9A7BPU4B.png)
