How to classify items as Good or Service
Social Security counts services and goods differently: services weigh much more in the calculation (70%) than goods (20%). That's why InvoiceXpress needs to know the type of each item. 🏷️
🛠️ How to classify an item
- Go to Items and open the item to edit it.
- Under Item type, choose Good (something you sell) or Service (work you provide).
- Choose the Unit. The options depend on the type:
- 📦 Good: Product, Unit, Item
- 🧑💻 Service: Hour, Day, Month, Service, Tax, Other
- Save the item. ✅
The Unit field only appears after you choose the type.
In the item list and on each item's page you will see a small Good or Service label, so you can quickly spot anything misclassified.
💡 Tip: if your estimate looks odd, the most common cause is an item with the wrong type. Check your items first.
This step matters most if you chose Mixed regime. Even if you only provide services (or only sell goods), keep your items correctly classified.
