Adding an invoice or receipt by hand, for your own records
If you don’t use connected invoicing software, you can also record your income manually — either as an Invoice or a Receipt type.
An Invoice or Receipt recorded manually in Penzum is your own record, not an official
issuance. A legally valid invoice must exist in an actual invoicing system (e.g. Billingo,
Számlázz.hu); a legally valid receipt must be issued through a cash register/e-cash
register or a paper receipt pad. Penzum does not replace issuance today — it only helps
you keep track.
Once your client’s payment arrives, select the invoice and click Paid — its status becomes Paid. Only then does it count toward your income summary and tax estimate.
A future feature (not yet built) will let Penzum trigger real, official invoice issuance
directly through your connected invoicing software — until then, manual entry is for your
own records only.
