# Convert to Invoice

Once you’ve [created](/us/books/help/sales-order/index.html#create-so) a sales order and sent the items to your customers, you might want to create an invoice for the same. You can directly convert a sales order into an invoice. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Sales** > **Sales Orders**.
*   Select the sales order which you want to invoice.
*   Click **Convert to Invoice** in the top right side of the page.
*   In the **New Invoice** page, the details will be auto-populated. You can save and send the invoice to your customer.

After a sales order is invoiced, it will be converted to the **Closed** status.

## Partial Invoicing

After a sales order is confirmed, you can choose to include selective items in the invoice created for it. This is when partial invoicing comes in handy.

**When will this be useful?**  
Let’s say you have created a sales order for the following quantities of items:

*   Laptops (2)
*   Mobile Phones (3)

Now, you realize that you don’t have stock of mobile phones and wouldn’t be able to send them to your customer. In such a case, you might want to invoice just the laptops and leave the mobile phones for later. Here, we partially invoice the sales order just for the laptops.

To partially invoice a sales order:

*   Go to **Sales** > **Sales Orders**.
*   Select the sales order (in the **Open** status) that you want to partially invoice.
*   Click **Convert to Invoice** in the right side of the page.
*   In the **New Invoice** page, delete the line items which you do not want to invoice.
*   **Save** the invoice.

Do you want to cancel items that you have already invoiced from your sales order? [Learn more](/us/books/help/sales-order/other-actions.html#cancel-items).
