How invoice history works
Understand the invoice history timeline and what actions it records.
Invoice history is a timeline of important actions recorded against an invoice. It helps you understand what happened to the invoice over time.
Events that may appear
- Invoice created.
- PDF downloaded.
- Invoice marked as sent.
- Payment recorded.
- Payment added to sales.
- Linked sale deleted.
- Payment deleted.
- Stock deducted.
- Stock restored.
Why invoice history is useful
- It gives an audit trail for important invoice actions.
- It helps explain why balances changed.
- It helps identify when a payment was deleted or changed.
- It helps you understand whether a payment created a linked sale.
- It helps trace delivery actions such as PDF download or manual sent status.
Example
- If an invoice balance looks wrong, invoice history can show whether a payment was recorded and then deleted, or whether a linked sales record was removed.
