What invoices are

What you bill for a finished repair, and why this list holds fewer invoices than Finance does.

An invoice is the document that asks the customer for the money. In Repairs it is always the end of a chain that began with a ticket: equipment came in, work was done, parts were fitted, and this is the bill for it.

Repair invoices, from raising one to getting it paid

Highlights

Only invoices raised from a repair appear here, and there are usually more in Finance.
The reference number names the ticket the work was done on.
Payments show on the invoice itself, in the associated documents panel.
Overdue is counted in days and shown in red on the list.
A wrong invoice is corrected with a credit note, never by editing it after the fact.

The list

The Invoices list under a tab reading Invoices, headed Invoices with the subtitle Manage and track all invoices across your organization. Columns read Invoice Date, Invoice Number, Reference Number, Customer, Status, Total Amount, Balance Due and Due Date. Every Reference Number cell holds a repair ticket number such as RPT-00007 with an IRONVALE tag. Status badges read Paid in green, Due in 35 days in blue, Partially Paid in amber and Draft in grey, against customers including Fenland Agritech, Brackenridge Engineering, Caldwell Marine Systems and Cotswold Industrial Supplies. The foot reads showing 1 to 25 of 28 results. — Every invoice a repair produced, with the ticket it came from in its own column. The badge and the balance together say what is still owed.

The left column lists other invoices badged Paid, Overdue by 21 days, Partially Paid and Draft. — The invoice from the ticket in the Tickets guides. Its reference number is that ticket, and its payment is listed at the top.

Reference Number: The repair ticket this bill came from, which is how you get from a payment query back to the equipment.
Associated documents: Every payment received against this invoice, with the mode it arrived by and what it settled.
Terms of Payment: How long the customer has, which is what the due date is worked out from.
Due Date: The day it stops being outstanding and starts being late.

Reading the states

Invoice states on the list and what each is telling you
Badge	What it means	Whose move
Draft	Raised but not issued. The customer has not seen it	Yours: send it
Due in N days	Issued, unpaid, and still inside its terms	Nobody's yet. Leave it alone
Paid	Settled in full, with nothing outstanding	Nobody's. It is done
Partially Paid	Some money has arrived and a balance remains	Theirs, then yours to chase
Overdue by N days	The due date has passed with a balance still on it	Yours: chase it
