About this example
This example is the sales invoice an apparel printer in Denver sends a craft brewery after delivering merchandise for its taproom shop: 288 unisex tees, 144 women's tees, 96 embroidered hoodies, 144 caps and a thousand stickers, all printed with the brewery's logo and sold to it for resale.
A sales invoice for goods has to let the buyer check what arrived against what was ordered, so each line gives the item, its SKU and, for apparel, the size breakdown, with the quantity and unit price beside it. The 5% volume discount is shown on the lines it applies to and totaled on its own row. Screen setup, embroidery digitizing and delivery are listed as their own charges. Because the brewery resells the goods, no sales tax is charged and its resale certificate number is printed under its address. The first line ties the invoice to the sales order, the customer's purchase order and the signed delivery, and the invoice closes with bank details, an early-payment discount and terms on misprints and reorders.
Who it is for
Wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and print shops that invoice business customers for goods by item, quantity and unit price.
