Invoicing
Issue invoices, record payments, track outstanding amounts, and understand invoice statuses.
How invoicing works#
Invoices bill customers for products or services. Each invoice has line items, VAT, due dates, and a payment trail. Issued invoices post to the ledger automatically, so accounting stays in sync without manual journal entries.
Invoice lifecycle#
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Editable and not counted as revenue. Delete or edit freely. |
| Issued | Finalized and sent — counts toward revenue and outstanding receivables. |
| Partially paid | Some payment recorded; the remaining amount stays in outstanding. |
| Paid | Fully settled. |
| Overdue | Issued and past the due date — shown as a display state, not a separate status. |
| Void | Cancelled after issuing. Voiding creates a reversal so the ledger stays correct. |
Warning: Issued invoices cannot be silently edited — void and reissue instead. This protects the audit trail and keeps tax reporting consistent.
Creating and issuing an invoice#
- 1Go to Invoicing → New Invoice, or convert an accepted quotation.
- 2Pick the customer (or quick-create one inline) and confirm currency and dates.
- 3Add line items — services, products, or shipping — with quantity, price, discount, and VAT.
- 4Review the totals: subtotal, tax, discount, and amount due.
- 5Save as draft to finish later, or issue it to make it final.
Recording payments#
Record payments against issued invoices with a date, method, and amount. Partial payments are supported — the invoice moves to Partially paid until the balance reaches zero, then to Paid.
- Payments post to the ledger and update outstanding receivables immediately.
- The dashboard Outstanding pill and collections cards reflect payments in real time.
Tax and compliance#
Invoices follow your workspace jurisdiction. UAE workspaces support FTA-compliant fields such as TRN and place-of-supply emirate; Pakistan workspaces support NTN/STRN and sales tax handling. Withholding tax can be applied when relevant.
Invoices can be linked to a governing contract so the paperwork trail — quote, contract, invoice — stays connected.
