Summary

To search for something specific in this list, press CTRL + f (Windows) or Command (⌘) + f (Macintosh) and type in your search. 

Note Many steps guide you to check the select all check box to the left of the Status column header. When you do this the forward/back buttons in the upper right of the browser disappear. To bring them back so you can go to the next page, clear the select all check box.

How to recover deleted Invoices

  • I have an invoice that's not showing under a customer!

  • Why don't I have an invoice for a completed work order?

  • I cannot pull up an invoice for XYZ company, it's showing the work orders but not the invoices!

  • This account was inactive, I activated but it shows the account has unapplied payments of $$$$ and a balance of $$$$!

  • I collected payments and deleted the associated invoices, now there's a credit balance. How do I get the invoices back to balance the account?

  • Please restore Invoice #12345 for Work Order #67890

  • I accidentally completed a Work Order and then changed it back to Scheduled and deleted the Invoice that was generated. Now when I change the Work Order status back to Complete it won't generate a new Invoice.
    ​Note The invoice is generated on the first completion only. Toggling the work order back and forth between scheduled/completed will not generate new invoices.
