# NSI Overview on Portal

This article covers what NSI is and how to create one  

#### What is NSI?

Non-service invoices are those where you are not billing for any work done for a customer. Instead, these invoices are generated when you are attempting to sell them a product that is not associated with a particular job or project. This could be inventory or any other item you are trying to sell to the customer.

#### How to Create a NSI (Nonservice Invoice)?
