Quick answer

To create a e-invoice, open E-Invoicing from the sidebar, click "New E-invoice", fill in the required fields, and save. The new record is immediately searchable and triggers any linked downstream automations (e.g. accounting posts, notifications, approvals).

Step 1 — Open the E-Invoicing module

In the left sidebar, click E-Invoicing. If you don't see it, your role may not have e-invoicing.view permission — ask your Owner or Admin to grant it under Settings → Users & Roles.

Step 2 — Click "New E-invoice"

The list view shows all existing e-invoices. Click the New E-invoice button at the top-right. You will be taken to a clean form page with all available fields visible (we never hide important fields behind tabs).

Step 3 — Fill in required fields

Required fields are marked with a red asterisk. Tooltip help is available on every label — hover over a field to see what it does. Optional fields can be left blank and added later.

Step 4 — Save (or "Save & Add Another" for bulk entry)

Click Save to create the e-invoice. If you want to add several in a row, the "Save & Add Another" button resets the form while keeping the page open. The new record appears at the top of the list view.

What happens after

Creating a e-invoice may trigger downstream automations depending on the module — for example, posting a journal entry, sending an email, or starting an approval workflow. You can see all triggered actions in the Audit Log.

Editing or deleting a e-invoice

Click the e-invoice row in the list view to open detail mode. The Edit button is at the top-right. To delete, use the kebab menu (•••). Note: records linked to other entities (e.g. an invoice that has a payment) cannot be deleted — they can be cancelled or voided instead.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a e-invoice in Easedesk?
Open E-Invoicing from the sidebar, click "New E-invoice", fill the required fields, and click Save.
Can I import e-invoices from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Most modules support CSV import. Look for the Import button on the list page. A downloadable sample CSV is provided so you can match the column format exactly.
Why is my "New E-invoice" button disabled?
Your role likely doesn't include the e-invoicing.create permission. Ask your Owner or Admin to grant it under Settings → Users & Roles.
Can I edit a e-invoice after creating it?
Yes — click the row in the list view, then Edit. All changes are recorded in the audit log. If the e-invoice has been used downstream (e.g. an invoice that has been paid), only certain fields can be edited.
What happens if I delete a e-invoice?
Hard-delete is restricted for records linked to other modules. In those cases, the system will offer to cancel or void the e-invoice instead so downstream history is preserved.
