Editing an Invoice

To edit a Paid invoice, you must first Unlink the payment.

 

To unlink the payment, click on the Already paid Invoice amount (e.g. $2.00), then Unlink.

 

 

A confirmation message will pop up, then select Unlink.

 

Make the required changes to the invoice, then click on Save.

The unlinked payment from the invoice remains on Money in (receipt) transaction.

To reapply the unlinked payment to the same invoice, click Receive Payment. Select Apply available transactions (i.e. $2.00) checkbox and select the receipt transaction and the amount to use. Click Save to complete transaction.

Invoice Approval Process

Invoice approval process allows the business owner to review draft invoices the employee have created before approving it.

When you create and save a new invoice, it will be in Draft status. You can edit any invoice detail when the invoice is in Draft status. You cannot receive payment on a draft status invoice.

After you have reviewed the content of the draft invoice, click on Approve. When the invoice is in Approved status, you cannot edit the invoice. You can click Make draft to edit button to change the invoice back to Draft mode so you can edit. Once all edits are completed, click Approve to lock the invoice.

When you have received invoice payment from your customer, click on Receive payment to record the payment for the invoice.
