Introduction
Easy Invoicing extension allows user to fill in and post sales and purchase invoices or credit memo faster and easier than using the standard in Business Central.
This extension provides the user with two options for filling in and posting invoices and/or credit memos:
- If you want to post multiple invoices and/or credit memos at once, you must fill in the fields on the Easy Sales Screen and/or Easy Purchase Screen.
- If you want to post a single invoice/credit memo you can do from the previous screens or from the Easy Sales Screen Card and/or Easy Purchase Screen Card
Purchase Easy Invoicing

The fields to be filled in on this screen are the same fields that appear on a standard purchase invoice, with the difference that the invoice that is filled in from here can only have one line with the information that is collected in the Type, No., Description, and Amount fields.
