Sales

Sales in Livestork covers the full order-to-cash cycle: customers, orders, deliveries, invoicing, payments, and collections, for both live animal sales and production output.

Customers

The Customers page maintains your buyer register, contact details, and order/payment history. Every sales order, invoice, and payment links back to a customer record.

Sales orders & deliveries

A Sales Order captures what a customer has committed to buy. Delivery is confirmed separately, on the Deliveries page, drawing quantities from traceable inventory (for production output) or from live-animal allocation (for live animal sales) at the moment of fulfilment, so partial deliveries against a single order are fully supported.

Invoicing & payments

Sales Invoices generate from delivered quantities and post directly to the general ledger. Payment Receipts record payments against invoices, partial payments included, and Livestork tracks the outstanding balance automatically.

Credit notes & returns

A Sales Return records goods coming back from a customer. Issuing a Credit Note against the original invoice adjusts the customer's balance and reconciles the returned quantity back into inventory.

Collections

Collection Notes and the Collections dashboard support structured follow-up on overdue accounts, pairing with the AR Aging report to surface who needs to be contacted next.

Note

Collection Notes and Collections are part of the AR/AP collections feature set, available on plans that include collections management. See the Accounts Receivable guide for aging and dunning detail.
What happens if a sale draws from more than one batch's production?
Revenue is attributed proportionally across the contributing batches based on quantity, so batch-level profitability stays accurate even when fulfilment spans multiple harvests. See Production & Traceability for detail.
