Introduction

When you add items to an invoice in WISK, the “Total” column represents the value of the items you’ve added at cost, without taxes. WISK uses that cost/unit for calculating inventory value and beverage/plate costs.

However, for accounting purposes, there is an “Invoice total on paper” field you can enter the full amount paid on the invoice, including any additional charges (taxes, delivery/import fees, etc.) or credits.

Note: For taxes, If your accounting software is integrated, we have a more detailed feature for tracking them. To learn more, please see:

An invoice where the total on paper and the total value of the items in WISK don't match.  A message displays if the values don't match.

By adding charges or credits as additional line items to an invoice, you can get the “Invoice total on paper” and the “Total” to match.

The invoice total on paper and the total are now matching, and the message is gone.

Note: In the app, this field is the "Invoice Total" that appears when you're entering the invoice details.

The "Invoice Total" field on the Invoice Info screen in the mobile app.
