Commercial Invoice Software

A commercial invoice describes a sale or shipment of goods and commonly repeats information found in packing lists, certificates and shipment records. Shipping Documents Pro stores that information once and reuses it.

What it is for

Keep this document connected to the shipment.

Commercial invoices are commonly used to identify the parties to a transaction, describe the goods, state quantities and values, and provide shipment or trade references. For international shipments, the document may also support customs and brokerage processes.

A blank template solves one invoice. The software is intended for repeat work: save recurring parties and products, import line items, duplicate prior shipments, and create related paperwork from the same record.

Information the document can include

Exporter / seller and consignee details
Invoice number and date
Product descriptions and quantities
HS or Schedule B reference fields
Unit prices and extended values
Country-of-origin references
Incoterm or delivery terms
Freight, insurance and shipment notes
Why use reusable software?

Reduce repeated typing between related documents.

The same shipper, consignee, products, quantities and references often appear in several places. Shipping Documents Pro keeps the shipment as the source and uses it to prepare multiple document layouts.

Save recurring parties and products
Duplicate a prior shipment as a starting point
Use dynamic rows instead of fixed form-image coordinates
Preview, print or save finished paperwork as PDF
