## Introduction

The **Services** module in the catalog allows you to manage the intangible services you sell or buy: consulting, maintenance, training, subscriptions, etc. Unlike products, services are not stockable and do not impact inventory management. The module is accessible via ***Catalog > Services***.

## 1. Create a service

Click on ***Add a service*** from the module list.

**Main information:**

- **Service name**: the designation of the service (required)
- **Reference**: an internal code to identify the service
- **Category**: the family to which the service belongs
- **Sales price**: the unit rate
- **Unit of use**: the invoicing unit (hour, day, flat rate, month...)
- **Active**: indicates if the service is available for sale

> **Note:** To properly configure taxes on your services (VAT categories, tax regions, other taxes), consult the article [Tax configuration](../../250_parametrage/120_la-configuration-des-taxes.md).

## 2. Use in documents

Services can be added to the detail lines of commercial documents:

- **Quotes** and **Purchase orders**: to quote a service
- **Invoices**: to invoice a completed service
- **Credit notes**: to cancel or correct service invoicing

> **Good to know**: When adding a service to a document, the sales price is automatically pre-filled. You can modify it for each line if necessary.
