# Creating Invoices

You will be keen to quickly and accurately create invoices for you buyers as soon as possible when an auction closes. 

We have created a process where you can create your invoices from the reporting pages, buyer by buyer, when you are ready to do so. Once you have created the invoices, you can edit and change them according to the condition of sale and transporting you agree with the buyer post-sale. 

Your invoices will automatically be created with lift out fees, export documents fees and VAT where required. 

Once you have are happy with each invoice, you create it through the User Bidding Report. Each invoice can be viewed in edit mode as well as preview mode. The invoice can be edited and changed.

Invoices can be created and managed using the lot's long descriptions or just the auction title. We think during the editing phase it is easier to hide the long descriptions, so you can see the numbers more clearly.&#x20;

When it comes to generating the actual invoice, you can include the long descriptions to make sute there is not discrepancy with the buyer on what they are paying for.

Changes can be made to any of the line items and saved.&#x20;
