Invoices received from suppliers.



How to post a supplier invoice

From the point of view of a self-employed person or entrepreneur, a purchase invoice, received invoice or supplier invoice is a document detailing the products that have been purchased or the services that have been provided necessary to carry out your economic or professional activity.

As a self-employed person or entrepreneur, you will always be obliged to include supplier invoices in your accounts and thus be able to deduct the expenses generated by your economic or professional activity.

Below we explain how to post an invoice received.

In the event that you just have a receipt, visit this other link on how to account for expenses.

In the event that it is an investment good, visit this other link on how to account for it to make its amortization correctly.

Expense type

Contasimple uses the simplified General Accounting Plan. Is the invoice for the purchase of products? You don't need to change anything.

Are you invoiced for a service? Choose option “607. Work performed by other companies» if it is not a self-employed worker. Or choose option “623. Self-employed workers services” in the dropdown if it is a self-employed person.

Other options: For example, if you are accounting for a rental invoice, choose option "621. Leases and fees (rental costs)".

Computable percentage

It is the percentage of the invoice that will be accounted for for the calculation of taxes. Choose a value between 0 and 100.

Normally, we will impute 100% of the invoice.

Example where less than 100% would be allocated: A self-employed person carries out his economic activity in his home. When accounting for supplies, such as electricity, he only imputes the percentage of the existing proportion between the square meters of the house destined for the activity with respect to its total area.
