Billing

Article

In the item management you define the item groups and items of the goods and services you want to invoice. For each entry, an article from the article management is assigned and forms the basis of the entry. The individual bookings can still be customized.

Each article is assigned to an article group. In the article group, general settings are made for the article type, tax and quantity designations, which then apply to each article in the article group.

The rights to the article management can be set in the billing user settings .

Article groups

On the Article groups tab, the created article groups are clearly displayed as a list.

As with most lists, the column configuration can be customized using the table icon on the right. The sorting of the list is set by clicking on the column headers.

An article group can be deleted via Further actions >> Delete article group .

You create a new article group via the + symbol. A lightbox opens where you set the properties of the item group.
