📃 How to Generate an Invoice Report

This article explains how to generate an Invoice Report in Composer, which provides a summary of orders, customer accounts, and financial details such as total and VAT amounts.

What is an Invoice Report?

An Invoice Report is a spreadsheet (CSV) that gives you a clear summary of:

  • Which customer accounts placed orders
  • What items were ordered
  • The total amounts for those orders
  • The VAT included

You can use it for invoicing customers, reconciling accounts, or sharing with your finance team.

Step 1 – Open Composer

  1. Log in to your Controls dashboard.
  2. From the left‑hand menu, open your Composer app.

Step 2 – Go to the Invoice Reports tab

  1. In Composer, click Analytics from the side menu.
  2. Select the INVOICE REPORTS tab at the top.

Step 3 – Choose what you want in the report

In the Invoice Reports tab you can:

  • Select a customer account (optional)
    • Use this if you want the report only for one specific account (for example, “Corporate Catering – ABC Ltd”).
    • If you leave this blank, the report will include all customer accounts.
  • Set the date range
    • Choose the start date and end date for the orders you want to include.
    • Make sure this matches the period your finance team or customer is expecting.

  • Pick the data you need
    • You’ll see different fields you can include in the report (order details, totals, VAT, etc.).
    • Keep the defaults if you’re not sure – you can always remove extra columns later in Excel.

Step 4 – Generate and download the report

  1. Once your filters are set, click Download.
  2. The system will create a CSV file.
  3. Download the file and open it in Excel, Google Sheets or similar.

  

Tips

  • If the file looks confusing, try hiding columns you don’t need – this often makes it much easier to read.
  • If you can’t see any data, double‑check the date range and customer account filters.

TL;DR

Go to Composer → SETTINGS and set:

  • Import Account / Default Customer – so Slerp orders flow into Composer.
  • 3PL Export Format – so exported CSVs match your courier/warehouse.
    Save, then place a test order to confirm it appears correctly in Composer.
