One Off Invoices

How to create a one off / ad hoc invoice

Written by Elliot Palmer

One Off Invoices

Within Street, for any sales property you can create upfront invoices and completion invoices. While one off invoices can also be created for both sales and lettings properties.

All three work in a similar way, allowing you to generate an invoice that uses the invoice settings and sequence as set up in your branch invoice settings.

However, one off invoices allow you to create custom invoices that don't look at instruction fees.

Note - Upfront invoices and completion invoices are not available for lettings properties.

Creating a one off invoice

To create a one off invoice, head to the property page and click actions (at the top right) > 'create one-off invoice'.


First you need to choose the recipient, selecting between the vendor, buyer or their solicitor.

Note - You will only see the buyer and buyer solicitor option if there is an active sale.

Next you can add each item on the invoice line by line, along with it's amount. If you have the VAT Registered toggle enabled in your company settings, you will also see the option to select whether each item should be inc or exc VAT.

Next select the due date, invoice date (optional), which branch invoice settings to use and

Note - To set the invoice date on a one off invoice, you will need a role with the permission 'Allow this user to set the invoice date when creating one-off sales/lettings invoices and to edit the invoice date afterwards' enabled. For more information, see our Roles and Permissions help article.

Finally, choose whether to automatically send the invoice to the recipient.

If you leave the 'send invoice' toggle unchecked, the invoice will generate and you can manually send. If you tick to send, you will see an additional screen to choose who to send it to. You can also download the invoice before sending.

Once generated / sent, you can see the invoice from the property page by clicking info (at the top right) > invoices. As well as your main invoices table from the left side panel.

Editing the invoice date

Once an invoice has been created, you can edit the invoice date from either the property invoice table or from the main invoices table, from the left side panel, by clicking the three dot menu on the right of the invoice and select 'Edit Date'.

Note - To edit invoice dates, you will need a role with the permission 'Allow this user to set the invoice date when creating one-off sales/lettings invoices and to edit the invoice date afterwards' enabled. For more information, see our Roles and Permissions help article.

This allows you to change the invoice date shown on the invoice - not the date the invoice was created. It does not allow you to edit the invoice amount, line items, sequence number, or any other details on the invoice.
