Projects - Billing - Invoices

See Also

 

This view displays details for all finalized invoices that have been generated for the project such as billing method, time and material charges, and reimbursable expenses. You cannot create invoices for internal projects, as they are non-billable. Summary totals for each column are displayed as well as the total paid against the account and the project balance. You can view legacy invoices also as long as their PDFs exist in the system.

 

Non-reimbursable expenses will be set to Draft/Billed status but not appear on invoices. Reimbursable no-charge expenses and no-charge time entries will display on invoices as No Charge.

Action

 

Create Invoice:

Select this option to create a new invoice from this view. ArchiOffice remembers the invoice date range and last invoice date of every project. So you do not have to enter the date each time you create an invoice or draft invoice. You can also overwrite the default invoice number and enter a custom invoice number when creating an individual invoice here. To learn more about what the invoice will look like, review the invoice sample.

 

Delete Draft:

Select this option to delete a draft copy of an invoice.

 

Finalize Draft:

Select this option to finalize a draft invoice and post it.

 

Creating a draft invoice or deleting it does not increment your next invoice number until that invoice is finalized. When draft invoices are finalized, ArchiOffice looks at the invoice numbers of all existing invoices to determine the next highest number and sets the default in Preferences to that number. This helps in preventing gaps in the numbering sequence.
