When you create an invoice in ABOSS, you decide exactly what appears on it by configuring invoice line items. These line items are controlled by a set of toggles, and the values are pulled directly from the deal, so most amounts are already pre-filled for you.
The basic rule is simple: what you enable and fill in appears on the invoice. What you leave off or leave empty does not.
Custom line items are still fully supported alongside the toggles, for situations that fall outside the standard setup.

1. Guarantee Fee
Enable the Guarantee Fee toggle to include the guaranteed fee from the deal as a line item. You can refine this further with additional options:
Fee Percentage: enter a percentage of the guaranteed fee, for example 50% for a deposit or balance invoice.
Total Nett Ticket Revenue: enable this to base the line item on the total nett ticket revenue instead of the guaranteed fee.
Deduct Inclusive Booking Fee: if the deal has an inclusive booking fee, enabling this removes the booking fee from the amount, leaving the pure artist fee. This is useful when sending two separate invoices: one for the artist fee and one for the booking fee.
2. Booking Fee
The booking fee toggle depends on whether the deal is set up as inclusive or exclusive:
Enable Exclusive Booking Fee for deals where the booking fee is on top of the artist fee.
Enable Inclusive Booking Fee for deals where the booking fee is included in the artist fee.
The amount is based on the percentage set in the deal. If a fixed amount has been filled in, that takes priority over the percentage. The calculated result, as shown in the Artist Statement, is what appears on the invoice.
3. VAT and Withholding Tax
VAT appears on the invoice when the deal is marked as subject to VAT and a VAT percentage has been filled in. Note: VAT at 0% is not yet supported as an invoice line item.
Ticket VAT and copyright are not yet available as toggle-based line items.
Withholding Tax appears on the invoice when the deal is marked as subject to withholding tax and the Withholding Tax toggle is enabled. The amount is calculated based on the settings in the deal: either a percentage or a fixed amount, applied over the base you have configured (for example, Gross Fee minus Costs).
4. Deal Items (paid by promoter)
Enable the Deal Items (paid by promoter) toggle to automatically include cost items from the deal on the invoice. Only items that meet both of the following conditions are included:
The item is set to "Paid by Promoter"
The amount is greater than ā¬0
5. Custom line items
If the standard toggles do not cover what you need, for example for unusual arrangements specific to one deal, you can add custom invoice posts manually. These give you full flexibility alongside the toggle-based setup.
6. Use new invoice format
This toggle is only relevant for invoices created before the toggle system was introduced. Enabling it switches an existing invoice from the old format to the new toggle-based format. Any invoice created from scratch will use the new format automatically, so you will not need this toggle for new invoices.
