Short answer

Give the customer, line items, quantities, prices, currency and payment terms in chat, and ValueSpace can organise them into an invoice draft for review. It does not make missing tax or payment facts true: the owner checks every commercial detail and explicitly approves any issue, export or send step available in the configured workflow.

Start with the facts the invoice must contain

Name the customer, seller, items or services, quantities, unit prices, currency, dates, payment terms and any required tax treatment. If a required fact is absent or ambiguous, the assistant should ask rather than invent it.

From chat details to a reviewable invoice draft

The assistant structures the supplied facts, calculates transparent totals and prepares a durable file in the Web workspace. You can ask for corrections while the source request and current version remain together.

  • Check the legal business names and addresses.
  • Reconcile each line item, rate, quantity, discount and total.
  • Confirm currency, tax treatment, invoice date, due date and payment instructions.

Review before the invoice leaves the workspace

Reading supplied or connected source data is read-only. Preparing and revising the draft can happen automatically from the facts you provide. Issuing, exporting to a connected financial record or sending the invoice is approval-required and only available where that action has been configured.

Invoice
  1. Business owner

    Prepare an invoice for Northstar Studio: two consulting days at CHF 900 each, due in 14 days.

  2. ValueSpace

    I have the customer, line items, currency and payment term. I still need the seller details and applicable tax treatment before the draft can be complete.

  3. Business owner

    Use our approved Swiss seller profile and the standard tax rule from the invoice policy.

  4. Draft preparedNo external action taken
  5. ValueSpace

    The draft totals CHF 1,800 before the approved tax treatment. Please review the customer, dates, payment instructions and final total.

Prerequisites, automatic work and limitations

A correct invoice depends on current seller details, customer details, numbering rules, tax rules and payment terms supplied or connected by the business. ValueSpace can organise and calculate the draft automatically, but tax compliance, accounting treatment and the final commercial commitment remain the business owner's responsibility.
