Invoicing Policies for Products in Odoo

In Odoo, the Invoicing Policy​ is configured at the product level. This setting is located under the General tab of each product.

Depending on the product type, different invoicing options are available. For physical products, you can choose between two options:

  • Ordered quantities: The invoice can be generated as soon as the order is confirmed, and all products with this policy are included in the invoice.
  • Delivered quantities: The invoice can be generated only after the related delivery order is marked as Done.

The default invoicing policy for physical products can be set in the Sales or Website module by navigating to: Sales (or Website) > Settings > Configuration > Invoicing​.

Important to Consider:

  • Changing the default setting only applies to newly created products. Existing products will retain their current invoicing policy.
  • If Automatic Invoicing is enabled on your website, the system will automatically apply the "Invoice what is ordered" policy, overriding the setting configured on individual products.
