How to duplicate an invoice

Duplicate invoice is useful when a customer orders the same or similar goods or services again. It saves time because you do not need to rebuild the invoice from nothing.

When duplication is useful

• A regular customer buys the same items every week.
• A salon has repeat service packages.
• A freelancer bills a client for the same monthly service.
• A mini-mart supplies the same office or kiosk regularly.
• A fundi or repair business creates similar job invoices.

What to check after duplicating

• Check the customer.
• Check the issue date and due date.
• Check item quantities and prices.
• Check discount.
• Check notes and payment instructions.
• Check stock-linked items if inventory is involved.

Avoid this mistake

• Do not duplicate an invoice and send it without checking dates and amounts. A duplicated invoice may copy details that were correct for the old invoice but wrong for the new one.
