Save proforma

A proforma invoice is an invoice that is sent prior to shipment of goods, this describes the details of the invoice but does not serve as a real invoice. The system by default does not save the proforma, however if required you can click Yes to save the proforma.

The proforma number appears on the issued invoice. This can be viewed in Media > Invoices > Old Invoices/Proformas by entering the proforma number.

Despatch Date

Update the system with the invoice despatch date. You can either select Immediate which makes the current date the despatch date or choose another date.

Note- Despatch date of existing invoices can be updated by reprinting them from Media>Invoices>Old Invoices/Proformas.

Formatting options

Date Format

NEOSYS allows you to format the appearance of the scheduled dates on the invoice printout as follows:

  • Partial Grid

Only shows the dates from the first ad to the last ad during the month.

  • Full Grid

Unlike the Partial Grid the Full Grid shows the dates of the entire month highlighting the dates on which the ads are scheduled.

  • List

Shows a different view of the schedule only in terms of how the dates of the scheduled ads appear on the invoice.

Columns

  • Time
  • Material
  • Postion/Program
  • Costs

Choose what data should appear on the invoice.

Costs

  • Cost to client

Issue client invoice showing the cost the to the client.

  • Cost to agency

Issue cost invoice showing the cost to the agency.

Note- The currency on the cost invoice is always the base currency.

  • Both

Issue two separate invoices, the client invoice and the cost invoice.

Net & Gross Columns

  • All columns
  • Gross and Net only
  • Net only

Choose what cost to show on invoice.

Check numbers

Checked by default, this option tells the system to check for any discrepancy in the number of ads on the schedule row. The schedule printout/ new invoice would not be issued if the ads entered in the Dates calendar do not match the Number of Ads column. However, you can select the No option if you wish to proceed with printing/invoicing the schedule.

It could be possible that the number of ads entered in the Dates calendar differ from the number of ads in the No. Ads column in the media schedule row due to changes made by the agency representative or for some other reason.

Approve Schedule

  • Yes
  • No

Approve the schedule from the invoicing form considering it has not been already approved. The current date is entered as the client approval date on the schedule once the invoice is generated.

This is ineffective if the approval date has already been entered in the schedule.

Stationery

Option to be created with or without letterhead for delivery to the client in different formats.

  1. without logo and address for preprinted letterhead stationery
  2. with logo and address for plain paper, pdf or emailing

Auto is the default option which would either show or hide the material list as specified in the Configuration file.
