Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this feature if you:

  • Send documents or contracts that include products or pricing.

Automatic Invoice Creation After Document Signing

When a document or contract is signed, Kyrios can automatically generate an invoice.

How Automatic Invoice Creation Works

  • An invoice is created when the document is accepted or signed.

  • The invoice copies:

    • Product line items

    • Taxes

    • Discounts
      from the product list elements inside the document.

  • If multiple product list elements exist, Kyrios generates one cumulative invoice.

  • If no product line items exist, no invoice is created.

Where the Invoice Appears

  • The invoice is created in the Invoices section.

  • It is linked to the related document and contact.

How to View and Edit the Generated Invoice

Accessing the Invoice

  1. Go to Payments in the left menu.

  2. Click Documents & Contracts.

  3. Select All Documents & Contracts.

  4. Click the three-dot menu next to the document.

  5. Select View Invoice.

What You Can Do

  • Review all line items, taxes, and discounts.

  • Edit the invoice if needed.

  • Send the invoice to the client manually.
