Invoices Overview

Written by ZevBit Software

The Invoices module in ZevBit allows you to manage billing, track payments, and monitor the financial status of your projects.

Users can generate invoices either from the Invoice module or within a project using two methods: manual and automatic.

In the manual method, users can directly create an invoice by going to the Invoice module and generating it without linking it to any estimate.

Alternatively, invoices can be generated automatically through signed estimates. While creating an estimate, users can set payment terms, which will trigger automatic invoice generation. This ensures that billing is consistent, structured, and directly tied to the work being performed.

How Invoices Work

Manual Invoice

In Zevbit, users can create invoices manually without relying on a signed proposal or predefined invoice schedule.

  1. Go to the Invoices Module

  2. Select Client and Project

  3. Open Project Invoicing Page

  4. Add a New Invoice

  5. Enter Invoice Details

  6. Save and send the Invoice

Automatic Invoice

Invoices in ZevBit follow a structured workflow:

  1. A proposal (estimate) is created to send to the customer

  2. An invoice schedule is generated based on your company settings and payment terms

  3. The customer signs the proposal

  4. Invoices appear in the Invoices module

  5. Payments are recorded and applied to invoices

  6. A project summary can be shared with the customer

This process allows your team to track billing from the initial agreement through final payment.

Each project may include multiple invoices

This structure gives you full visibility into how much has been billed, paid, and remaining. Besides, it’s fully customizable based on your company’s needs, and you can set up predesigned templates for specific project types.

What You Can Do in the Invoices Module

From the Invoices module, you can:

  • View all project invoices in one place

  • Track invoice statuses (Not Due, Due, Overdue, Paid)

  • Search and filter invoices

  • Open project-level financial details

  • Record payments against invoices

  • Monitor paid, balances, and overdue amounts

Metric

Description

Total Project

The total value of the project based on the signed estimate, including any approved changes. This represents the full amount expected to be collected.

Amount Paid

The total amount received from the customer across all invoices. This reflects actual cash collected.

Remaining Balance

The portion of the total project value that has not yet been paid. This includes both current and future payments.

Amount Due

The portion of the balance that is currently expected based on invoice timing. These are payments that should be collected now.

Amount Overdue

The portion of the balance that has passed its due date and has not been paid. These are late payments that require attention.

Project-Level Details

By selecting a customer or project, you can access a detailed financial view that includes:

  • The original estimate

  • Invoice schedule

  • Payment history

  • Paid and unpaid invoices

This gives you complete control over billing and payment tracking for each project.

Sharing Information with Customers

  • You can generate and send a Project Summary to customers

  • Send invoice(s) to the customer

  • Send receipt(s) to the customer

This summary can be customized and shared via email or a secure link.
