Describe the types of data needed to populate an invoice.
Use a LibreOffice Base query to retrieve and prepare invoice data.
Format and display an invoice using the LibreOffice Base Reporting tool.
By the end of this project, you will have used a LibreOffice Base query to retrieve data from a database and used the query results to build an invoice with the LibreOffice Base reporting feature. An invoice is a typical document used by many organizations to bill customers for products or services. Creating the invoice is a two-step process: retrieve the data and display it as an invoice. While retrieving the correct data is an essential skill for a database application developer, arranging and presenting the data in a format that a user finds useful is just as important. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
