Invoice Detail
When to open this page
- You’ve sent an invoice and need to mark it paid, issue a credit note, or void it.
- You must reopen a sent invoice as a draft revision.
- Finance wants to see totals, credit notes, or export warnings at a glance.
- You need the audit trail, PDF versions, or a read-only polish preview.
Access it via Invoices → View (sent/paid/void invoices land here automatically) or Resume editing links on revision banners.
Header actions & badges
- Status badge: Draft, Sent, Paid, or Void. A second badge shows the invoice type (Standalone, Progress, Final).
- Open / Download PDF: instant links to the current PDF.
- Claim form: appears when the invoice has a saved progress claim snapshot.
- Mark as paid: visible while status is
Sent. Confirms manually that the customer paid. - Create draft revision: for Sent/Approved/Paid invoices. Saves a snapshot, reopens the invoice as a draft, and drops you back into Step 4 so you can resend it.
- Issue credit note: available when there’s an outstanding balance. Enter the credit amount (with optional GST) and a reason; the credit note then appears in the overview tab.
- Void invoice: cancels the invoice completely. Void entries cannot be edited or credited later.
If a draft revision exists you’ll see a yellow banner with a Resume editing link back to Step 4.
Tabs overview
Overview
- Invoice summary cards: Subtotal, GST, discounts, outstanding balance, issued/due dates, payment terms, pricing mode, customer/contact/site data, and invoice type.
- Export warnings: highlights allocations that still have warning messages (e.g. over-claiming). Resolve them before exporting.
- Internal notes: shows the Step 4 notes field for staff reference.
- Credit notes: table listing every issued credit (number, issued date, totals, GST, reason).
Versions
- Lists all saved PDFs (automatic snapshots from sends and manual saves). Each row includes version number, timestamp, author, and download link.
- Use this when you need to reference what the customer received before a revision.
Activity
- Timeline of status changes, job allocation exports, credit notes, voids, and polish edits. Each entry shows actor, timestamp, and details pulled from the audit log.
Polish Preview
-
Renders the same document you see in Step 4, but read-only. Handy for confirming what was sent without re-entering the wizard.
-
Switch tabs via the buttons under the banner; the page remembers your selection if you refresh.
Handling revisions
- Click Create draft revision (Sent/Approved/Paid only).
- Optionally add a reason in the dialog.
- The invoice status flips back to
Draft. Use the Resume editing link in the banner to return to Step 4, tweak the builder/polish, and Mark as sent again. - The Versions tab keeps both the old and new PDFs, so you always have a paper trail.
Issuing credit notes
- Available for Sent/Approved/Paid invoices with an outstanding balance.
- Enter the total credit amount (inclusive of GST), optionally specify the GST component, and add a note.
- The overview tab immediately lists the credit and adjusts the outstanding balance. Use multiple credit notes if needed; the system tracks each one individually.
Voiding invoices
- Use Void invoice if work was cancelled or a draft should never be issued.
- Voiding locks the invoice permanently; you cannot revise or credit it afterward. Create a new invoice instead if you need to rebill.
- The status badge switches to
Voidand the record drops out of the recent list (but the direct URL remains accessible for history).
Marking payments
- As soon as the customer pays, click Mark as paid (either here or on the list view). This switches the badge to
Paid, clears the outstanding balance, and updates dashboards. - Marking paid is reversible via the backend action if you make a mistake, but the preferred flow is to leave it unless finance asks to revert.
Troubleshooting
- Claim form button missing: Save a progress claim snapshot in Step 3 (use the job allocations tab) before marking the invoice sent.
- Credit note button disabled: Either the invoice hasn’t been sent yet or there’s no outstanding balance left.
- “Draft revision in progress” banner won’t clear: Finish editing in Step 4 and mark the invoice sent again.
- Void action fails: Only admins can void invoices tied to paid jobs. Check your permissions or confirm the invoice isn’t already marked as Void.
