Invoices to be established: operation and accounting

Under the
accounting principle for the independence of financial years, any delivery of
goods or services must be invoiced during the financial year in which it takes
place. However, a time lag sometimes exists. The invoices to be established are
there to remedy such a situation.
What are the invoices?
In the course
of its business it is common for an undertaking to face a situation in which a
supply of goods or the performance of a service takes place during a financial
year when the invoicing takes place during the financial year.
In terms of
accounting, this time lag is inconceivable. Therefore, in the same way as there
are deferred revenues to record the products collected before delivery or
service, there are invoices to be established for products not billed while the
delivery or the service has already taken place.
Most often,
the invoices to be drawn up are recorded but also recorded at the end of the
financial year, that is to say when the company carries out its annual
accounts.
