Hi,
I just realize that Item Code is not mandatory in sales invoice
So, no need to create item if you want to create sales invoice for services.
It will be useful if you want to make invoice for non stock item.
Steps to create sales invoice:
Save and Submit Sales Invoice
Print format will be look like this:
Thanks,

Yes, good to draw attention to this behavior. I enter all my purchases invoices for goods that we do not resell (stationary, PR/advertisement, electricity, etc etc) like this.
I usually enter just one line summarizing the things i bought (so leaving the details of the individual items) enter Quantity=1 and the total VAT free amount.
Than select Account head and cost centre.
Have set up a tax template for this situation. Select tax template. Done safe. Attach original invoice. Submit.Done. Make Payment.
@becht_robert @rmehta Thanks
Just to add one more note here:
Supplier and Customer is also not Mandatory in Purchase Invoice and Sales Invoice, So we can create Purchase Invoice for expenses, its really great feature to Track Expenses for Company as Company need to give all income expense details to Tax Department.
Hello, I’ve been trying to do this and I can’t find a way to.
How do I add a Sales Invoice with a custom item that is not added to the items?
Thank you!!
Hello @Antonio_Pinto ,
You can see, Item Code is not mandatory in sales invoice, So add Item Name, Description and Price in invoice as follows.

I am seeing item code as mandatory, am I missing something?
We are service based organization and do not have any standard product list. Pricing also varies for almost each service as it’s customized as per the needs of the customer. Description for the services is different in most of cases, is there a way to handle such cases?
@vishwajeets in Sales Invoice, Item Name and Item Description is mandatory and not Item Code.
Also you can remove Mandatory property from Customise Form.
What if I don’t want to create items? Is that possible ?
yes, it is possible.
You can create sales invoice without Item
@Cropg1 Please check above screen shot, you need to enter Item Name, Description, Qty and Rate in Sales Invoice. No need to select Item Code
Has this option been removed? When I try to make an Invoice from a Sales Order with Items without codes, I get this error:
