Manage custom layouts
Customize how Invoice details are displayed by adjusting the column widths, dragging and dropping columns into their preferred position, and clicking on the header to sort the Invoice into ascending or descending order. You can also drag and drop column headers into the grey space above the other column headers to group Invoices by that column's detail, in an expandable format.
After customizing your column layout, save it for future use:
Click on the Show Toolbar tab.
Select New.
Enter a unique name for the new layout.
Click Add.
The layout will now be saved to your user profile, only available to select from the Show Toolbar's Grid Layout drop-down menu.
Edits can be made to your custom grid layout at any time; just click Save in the Show Toolbar options after you've made the necessary adjustments. Similarly, custom grid layouts can be removed by clicking Delete in the Show Toolbar tab.
Default grid layouts
Initially, whenever you navigate to the View Invoices page, the default grid layout "None" will be displayed.
To make your custom grid layout the default view:
Click on the Show Toolbar tab.
Select the layout from the Grid Layout drop-down menu
Tick the Default checkbox.
Click Save.
Share grid layouts
If you've created a grid layout that other users in your account would benefit from using, you can make it available to their user profiles too:
Click on the Show Toolbar tab.
Select the layout from the Grid Layout drop-down menu
Tick the Shared checkbox.
Click Save.
The layout will then be available to select from the Show Toolbar > Grid Layout menu when other users open the View Invoices page.
Manage Invoices from View Invoices
Whilst the View Invoices page can be used to provide an overview of invoices created for your Sales Orders, you can use the actions and functions available in the View Invoices page to progress them through your invoicing processes.
You can perform bulk actions by ticking the checkbox of all relevant Invoices on the page, then hover over the grid header's action cog icon to select the appropriate action. Alternatively, you can hover over the action cog in the Invoice's row to apply the action to the individual Invoice.
Print Invoices
Select Print Invoices in the View Invoice's action cogs to generate PDF documents for your selected Invoice, using the Doc Designer's Invoice templates selected in the Invoice.
Email Invoices
Send Invoices to your customers by selecting "Email Invoices" in either action cog.
By default, the Invoice's customer's primary contact, "Invoicing" contact, and default cc email address will populate in the email window.
If you are bulk sending invoices, each Invoice will show as a tile in the email window, and you can click on the To and Cc fields to edit the recipients. The email's Subject and Body will populate from your account's email templates in the Message field. Otherwise, if the invoice is being sent individually, you can edit the Subject and Body fields that have populated from the email templates, as required.
Tick the "Send me a copy" checkbox to include yourself as a recipient for each email, then click Send to deliver them to your recipients.
Set Payments Received
Select "Set Payment Received" from the action cog options to indicate whether payment has been received from your customer for the invoice. The grid's "Payment Received" column will then update with a tick to indicate payment has been logged as received, and the Invoice will also show a "Payment Received" notice.
Complete Invoice
Select the "Complete Invoice" option in the action cog to update the invoice to Completed status. This means that no further edits can be made to the lines, products, quantities, or prices in the Invoice, and it cannot be deleted. If the Invoice's Sales Order has dispatched all its stock, and there are no further products or charges to invoice for, completing the Invoice will also update the Sales Order to Complete status.
