This article will help users configure their invoice settings in LoadStop.
In order to access the invoice settings, go to Menu > Settings > Invoice.
Invoice Accounting Settings
The following settings are provided in the invoice module which can be configured according to your preference:
Tracking Factoring Payments
This setting is specifically for factoring payments. Users can turn it on to track the payments to their factoring company. Once enabled, you will see an additional category in the Invoice module for ‘Pending Payment to Factoring’.
Furthermore, all the invoices created in LoadStop will automatically be synced with your accounting software, such as NetSuite or QuickBooks.
Note: If you want to manually synchronize the invoices, turn the toggle off and save the setting. Head over to the Invoice module and you will see the option ‘Sync with Accounting’. This will allow you to manually sync the invoices with your accounting software. (See image below)
