Indlela yokudala i-invoyisi nge-Billsato
Ukudala i-invoyisi enobungcweti kuthatha ngaphansi kwemizuzu emibili ngesikhiqizi se-invoyisi samahhala se-Billsato. Nansi indlela okusebenza ngayo.
Faka imininingwane yebhizinisi lakho. Faka igama lebhizinisi lakho, ikheli, i-imeyili, nenombolo yocingo. Lokhu kuvela phezulu kuyo yonke i-invoyisi oyidalayo, ukuze amaklayenti akho azi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi i-invoyisi ivela kubani.
Faka imininingwane yeklayenti lakho. Gcwalisa igama lekhasimende lakho, i-imeyili, ucingo, nekheli. Imininingwane yeklayenti eqondile iqinisekisa ukuthi i-invoyisi ifika kumuntu ofanele futhi ibukeka inobungcweti. Uma uthumela kwenye indawo, thikha okuthi “Thumela kwelinye ikheli” bese ufaka ikheli lokulethwa.
Bala izinto noma amasevisi. Chaza umkhiqizo ngamunye noma isevisi ngayinye, ubungako bayo, nentengo yeyodwa. I-Billsato ibala umugqa ngamunye kanye nenani elingaphansi ngokuzenzakalelayo. Thikha okuthi “Faka izincazelo” uma umugqa udinga incazelo ethe xaxa kunegama lawo.
Setha izinga lentela nesaphulelo. Faka izinga lentela lesifunda sakho, noma uliyeke likuziro uma lokho okwenziwayo kungenantela. Faka isaphulelo samaphesenti noma inani elinqunyiwe ku-invoyisi, kanti isamba sizobuyekezwa njengoba uthayipha.
Faka amanothi noma imemo. Faka imiyalelo yokukhokha, imigomo efana nokuthi “Net 30” noma “Kufanele kukhokhwe lapho itholwa”, noma umbhalo omfushane wokubonga. Noma yini oyibhalayo ivela phansi kwe-invoyisi esiqediwe.
Hlola ukubuka kuqala bukhoma. I-PDF esiqediwe idwetshwa eceleni kwefomu futhi iyazilungisa njengoba uthayipha, ngakho lokho okubonayo kuyidokhumenti ngqo osuzokuthumela — akukho ukuqagela, asikho isinyathelo sokukhiqiza.
Landa i-PDF. Chofoza okuthi Landa i-PDF ukuze ulondoloze i-invoyisi ye-PDF elungele ukuphrintwa, elinganiswe ngokwe-US Letter noma i-A4. Ithumele nge-imeyili kuklayenti lakho, yigcine kumarekhodi akho, noma yiphrinte. Ukuze ugcine i-invoyisi futhi usebenzise iklayenti futhi ngesikhathi esizayo, zama i-Billsato Pro, mahhala izinsuku ezingu-7.
Yini i-invoyisi?
I-invoyisi yidokhumenti esemthethweni umthengisi ayithumela kumthengi ukucela inkokhelo yempahla elethiwe noma izinsizakalo ezinikeziwe. Kuyirekhodi lokuthengiselana kwazo zombili izinhlangothi futhi kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokugcinwa kwamabhuku ebhizinisi.
Ama-invoyisi awafani namarisidi noma izikweletu. I-invoyisi ithunyelwa ngaphambi kokuba inkokhelo yenziwe — iyisicelo. Irisidi likhishwa ngemuva kokuba inkokhelo isitholiwe. Isikweletu yilokho umthengi akubonayo; i-invoyisi yilokho umthengisi akuthumelayo. Idokhumenti efanayo, imibono emibili ehlukene.
Wonke amabhizinisi athengisa imikhiqizo noma amasevisi — ozisebenzayo, ibhizinisi elincane, noma ibhizinisi elikhulu — adinga ama-invoyisi ukulandelela imali engenayo, ukuphatha ukungena nokuphuma kwemali, kanye nokugcina amarekhodi ezezimali anembile ngenxa yezintela.
Yini okufanele uyifake ku-invoyisi
