Overview

Vendor Billing is designed to streamline how you and your vendors manage financial handoffs for the completed jobs. It helps print and sign shops keep billing consistent, accurate, and free from mistakes or missed vendor payments.

Vendor billing introduces a two-sided workflow:

  • Sending an invoice (vendor’s view) – vendors can create, edit, and send you invoices linked to their completed events.

  • Receiving an invoice (your view) – you can review vendor invoices, provide feedback, and accept or reject them.

You and your vendors work with invoices in your own dedicated workspaces, but everything stays fully synced at all times.

You can see your invoices either on the Invoices page or inside the event drawer (Events page > click the event).


Invoice details

Here’s the information you and your vendors can see in the invoice, along with who can fill in each detail:

Field

Description

Edited by

PO number

Purchase Order number your accounting team created for this job.

You

PO amount

The budget your company approved to pay for the job.

You

Event amount

The actual amount your vendor is charging for this event.

Vendor

Extras

Any extra expenses during the job (e.g., rentals or travel)

Vendor

The invoice uses the currency set in your company settings, which is also applied to the vendor.

Let us know if you want to add more fields to your invoices. They’ll show only for your team, not for vendors.

If necessary, you and your vendors can also upload documents and leave comments on the invoice.


Invoice flow

Here are the steps of the invoicing process and the statuses you’ll see along the way:

Invoice status

Description

Draft

A newly created invoice by the vendor.

In Review

The vendor has submitted the invoice, and it is awaiting your review.

Change Required

The invoice was sent back to the vendor with comments to update.

Accepted

The invoice is finalized and locked from editing or deleting.

Rejected

The invoice wasn’t accepted and can't be edited.

You can choose whether the Event owner or a Custom role should approve the invoice and receive notifications about status changes.


Download invoice as PDF

After you mark a vendor’s invoice as accepted, both you and the vendor can download it as a PDF.

Companies can choose A4 or Letter as their default in Company Settings.
