Set up order management

Time required: Approximately 60 minutes.

The effort is worth it: Thanks to KLARA, you will save a lot of time in the future. 

Let's go!

Note: 
If you have already completed one of the following steps, simply skip it.

Please have the following information ready:

  • VAT details (you can enquire with the trustee or the Federal Tax Office) 
  • Contact information of your customers and partners
  • From the previous customer management solution.
  • Definition of standard articles incl. name, article number, price, VAT rate, etc.
  • Information from your previous offers and invoices.
  • Layout of your documentation
  • Former templates for comparison

1. Value added tax information

The VAT details are stored under "Company - VAT". To ensure that you create your invoices in accordance with the law, you must specify in KLARA whether you are liable for VAT or not. If you also use KLARA Accounting, your sales are automatically transferred correctly to the VAT statement.

Required information: VAT numbers, billing method (effective or net tax rate), billing type (collected or agreed).

Good to know

If you do not know these details, you can request them from your trustee or the Federal Tax Administration. Please make sure that your VAT details are entered correctly. You are obliged to show your customers the correct VAT on the invoice.

2. Bank data

Your bank details must be provided so that your company account is printed on invoices and payment slips. This way, your customers know where to make the transfer. You can enter the data under "Company - Bank details".

Required information: IBAN number

Good to know

There are three different ways to use accounts in KLARA.

  1. Bank account for wage payments: If you use KLARA Wages, wages are paid directly via this account.
  2. Bank account for receivables: If you use KLARA order management, this account will be printed on your invoice and payment slips.
  3. Bank account for liabilities: If you are using KLARA Accounting, this account is suggested as the default proposal when posting vouchers.

3. Customers and partners

Import your customers and partners: your invoices, quotes and other documents are correctly addressed. Receive statistics on the status of offers, invoices and processes - for every contact. 

Required information: Customer contact information.

Good to know.

    1. You don't have to import all your customers immediately. You can do this in KLARA  at any time - for example when you are in the process of writing a quotation or invoice.
    2. Download the myKLARA app from the App Store or Google Play. This gives you access to your customers' data at any time, even via smartphone.

5. Layout

Personalise the layout, texts and numbering of your quotations, invoices, order confirmations and delivery notes - for a consistent corporate image.

Required information: Former templates for comparison.
