There are a number of settings involved in running your invoicing function successfully, some are required and some are your choice for what you want to include on your invoices. Each option below has a link to a more detailed explanation and set of instructions on how to enable or disable the function.


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Invoices are automatically numbered sequentially. Your next invoice number will be taken from the value in this field which can be changed at any time.

To add your next invoice number:
  • Navigate to: Admin > Settings > Invoicing > Invoicing Options.
  • Enter your value for your next invoice number.
  • Click "Update."




Show Service Times on Invoices

If a service item is configured with a "Time Type" of "Time blocks", the time block used for scheduling will show on the invoice. If a "Time Type" of anything other than "time blocks" is used, the scheduled service time will show on the invoice.

To show times on your invoices:
  • Navigate to: Admin > Settings > Invoicing > Invoicing Options.
  • Toggle "Show Service Times on Invoices" to ON.

  • Toggle "Allow Adding Services to Invoiced Orders" to ON.

Prevent Copies of Invoices and Quotes being Sent to Company Email

  • Navigate to: Admin > Settings > Invoicing > Invoicing Options.
  • Toggle "CC Invoices or Quotes to Company" to ON.
  • Click "Update."




Set an Email Notification to Confirm Payments to Clients

  • Toggle Use "Past Due" instead of "Overdue" to ON.
  • Click "Update."




CC Payment Notifications to Company
