Built-in reports and export functions aggregate invoice data and inventory movements to support monthly reconciliation, cost-of-goods-sold calculations, and informed purchasing decisions based on usage trends.
Custom fields and reusable invoice templates let artists include product SKUs, batch numbers, and event-specific fields so invoices consistently capture the data needed for billing and inventory audits.
Structured line items support SKU, quantity, unit price, and automatic subtotal calculations to ensure correct charging for consumables and accurate deduction from stock records after invoicing.
Built-in tax calculators and discount application reduce manual errors and ensure invoices reflect local sales tax requirements and agreed promotional pricing.
