Invoices and payments
When the estimate changes after invoicing
Updating a draft invoice, and what to do with one that has been sent.
A draft invoice
If the estimate changes after you made the invoice, the invoice shows a warning with both totals. Click Update from the estimate to copy the estimate’s lines in again. Expenses from receipts and charges you added after the job stay on the invoice.
A sent invoice
A sent invoice is locked, so it stays exactly as the client received it. If it needs changing:
- Open the invoice.
- Click More, beside PDF.
- Click Unlock to change it. The invoice goes back to a draft.
- Click Update from the estimate, or change the lines yourself.
- Send it again.
It keeps the same number. While it is unlocked it is a draft, so no reminders go out for it.
