# Manually creating an invoice

You can create invoices manually from the following places in Nexudus:

* The **Invoices** page (described below)
* The **Customers** page (access via **Operations** > **Users** > (select a customer) > **Sales** > **Add invoice**)
* The Bulk Actions menu

The process is very similar using either method.
