Your first sale

Before you start

• Sign in to your Riel company. To practise, use the demo company and its sample data.
• Have the customer details, products or services, quantities and prices ready. Prepare customers in “Clientes” and items in “Productos y servicios” if needed.
• To issue real electronic invoices, your company’s ARCA setup must be ready. The demo and a real company are separate environments.

For real fiscal setup, use the production-certificate guide rather than repeating its instructions for every sale.

Step by step

1. Prepare the document

   Open “Comprobantes” and select the “Emitir” tab to open “Crear comprobante”. Select a saved customer in “Buscar cliente guardado” or enter the recipient details. Check that they belong to this sale.

2. Enter the sale

   Review the date, sale terms and due date where applicable. Add each product or service with its quantity and price, then check the lines and total. With customer-account sale terms, the unpaid amount remains on the customer’s account.

3. Review before completing

   Select “Revisar emisión”. Check the recipient, lines, applicable taxes and total. Use “Volver a editar” to make changes. Complete with “Emitir comprobante” only when the details are correct.

4. Find the result

   Find the document in the “Comprobantes” history. Open the customer in “Clientes” and their account to check the document and balance. A cash sale and a sale on account do not leave the same outstanding amount.

Use fictitious data in the demo. A sample document is not a fiscal invoice for your business.

What to check when you finish

• The document belongs to the correct customer and matches the reviewed items and amounts.
• Check the status Riel actually shows. A review screen does not prove the operation has been completed.
• The customer’s outstanding balance matches the sale terms and recorded payments.
