Understanding Scenarios Without E-Invoice Requests
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Transactions
In many B2C transactions, consumers do not request e-invoices. Despite this, sellers must generate e-invoices for compliance purposes, especially for tax submissions. In such cases, it is necessary to configure a cash sale debtor in AutoCount.
Business-to-Business (B2B) Transactions
Some businesses may not request e-invoices, particularly when a Tax Identification Number (TIN) is not provided. For these transactions, invoices are classified as regular customer invoices and consolidated at the end of the month.
Step-by-Step Guide for Managing Non-Consolidated E-Invoices
Setting Up a Cash Sale Debtor for B2C Transactions
- Go to Edit Debtor in AutoCount.
- Mark the debtor as a Cash Sale Debtor.
- Leave the TIN field blank.
- Save the debtor configuration to ensure it is recognized as a cash sale debtor.
This setup ensures that cash sales can be processed without requiring a TIN.
Creating a Cash Sale Invoice
- Navigate to Sales > Cash Sales > New.
- Select the debtor marked as a cash sale debtor.
- If no TIN is specified, the system will display a message box with options to set the tax entity.
- Continue with the normal customer classification if no tax entity is provided.
- Enter the item details and payment information.
After completing the transaction, preview the consolidated invoice. Note that invoices for cash sales in B2C scenarios will not include a QR code.
