  1. Copying invoices and creating new invoices is simple and quick—happier employees, happier customers.
  2. Monitor profitability sale-by-sale by seeing gross margin per line item before sending the invoice to your customer.
  3. Invoice from existing sales orders or create new invoices on the fly with no Sales Order while the customer is on the phone—or even with you in your office.
