With IC Project, you can quickly and intuitively issue a VAT or Proforma invoice, correct an invoice and create a new one based on a previously issued invoice.
The issue process for VAT and Proforma invoices in IC Project is identical.

Click 
then decide which invoice you want to issue: VAT or Proforma? Click the proper box.
You will be redirected to the invoice issue section. Look at the screen below. We have marked three areas in it with different colours.

You can decide if the invoice is to be attached to the project. If so, select the project, stage and selected board. Remember that the invoice amount will be accounted for in the project finance as realised revenue and it will affect the financial result.
The green area is the place where you enter the goods / service, determine their quantity and value. In the bottom left corner, you can a note to the invoice. On the right side, you can find the summary of the value of the issued invoice.
