Sales

The five documents Repairs bills with, the tab each one owns, and why these are the workspace's settings rather than a second copy.

Repairs bills with five documents, and this screen configures all of them: one tab each. Sales orders, recurring invoices, advance invoices and returns are not among them, because Repairs does not raise those.

Go to SettingsSales. Five tabs: Customers, Quotes, Invoices, Customer Payments and Credit Notes.

The Invoices tab of Sales in Repairs Settings, headed Invoice Settings above the line Configure defaults, behavior, and custom fields for invoices. Tabs above read Customers, Quotes, Invoices, Customer Payments and Credit Notes. A General and Field Customisation switcher sits below with General selected, above switches for editing sent invoices, hiding zero-value line items and attaching expense receipts, an Invoice Order Number picker, and Defaults for terms and notes.
Every tab takes this shape: a General half of switches and defaults, and a Field Customisation half.

What a tab holds

General
Switches and default text for that document type, such as whether a sent invoice may be edited, or the terms printed at its foot.
Field Customisation
Custom fields added to that document's form.

The tab worth being careful with

Invoices carries the one setting that changes what a sent document means.

The General half of the Invoices tab
FieldWhat it does
Allow editing sent invoicesLets a sent invoice be changed rather than voided and reissued. Leaving it off is what keeps a sent document trustworthy.
Hide zero-value line itemsDrops nil lines from the PDF, which is useful where a repair lists an inclusive part at zero.
Associate expense receipts in PDFAttaches rebilled expense receipts to the invoice PDF.
Invoice Order NumberWhere the order number printed on an invoice comes from.
Default Terms & ConditionsText printed at the foot of every new invoice.
Default NotesText carried onto every new invoice.
