Learn about creating invoices

There are a variety of ways to create a draft invoice, as outlined below.

• Click Jobs & Billing > Jobs and open the required job, then choose one of the following options:
  • Click Create Invoice - The job is added as a WIP line to the invoice.
  • Click Create Invoice & Close Job - The job is closed and added as a WIP line to the invoice.
  • Click Create Invoice with Interim text - The default interim invoice text related to the job type is added to the invoice. This option is only available if you have enabled the interim/progress text on job types setting.
  Note: If the contact for that job belongs to a billing group and is not the main client for that group, the draft invoice will be created with the main client information to invoice. 

• Click Jobs & Billing > Invoices. In the Draft Invoices page, click Add Invoice.
  • Unlike the above method, no details are pre-populated for you. Therefore, you have to enter the invoice details.

• Click Jobs & Billing > Invoices > Jobs to Invoice tab.

• Click Jobs & Billing > Work in Progress and select the relevant clients and jobs, then click the Create Invoice button in the grid.
