Invoices
What invoice cards show
Understand the invoice cards shown on the Invoices page.
Each invoice card gives a quick summary of one invoice. It lets you understand the customer, items, dates, total, balance, payment state, and delivery state before opening the full invoice.
Main invoice card details
- Invoice number identifies the invoice, such as INV-2026-06-0001 or BAT2026-05-0002.
- Customer name shows who the invoice belongs to.
- Open lets you go into the full invoice workspace.
- Payment badge shows whether the invoice is paid, part-paid, unpaid, or has a balance due.
- Items section shows the products or services on the invoice.
- Line count shows how many invoice lines are included.
- Issue date shows when the invoice was created or issued.
- Due date shows when the customer should pay.
- Balance shows how much is still owed.
- Total shows the full invoice value.
- Delivery badge shows whether the invoice was emailed, marked as sent, not sent yet, or otherwise delivered.
Custom and inventory item badges
- Custom means the line is a manual product or service that is not linked to stock.
- Inventory means the line is linked to an inventory item.
- Inventory lines can later affect stock when invoice payments are added to Sales, depending on how your workflow is configured.
How to use invoice cards
- Look for red or non-zero balances to find money still owed.
- Check due dates to decide which customers to follow up.
- Use delivery badges to see whether the customer has actually been sent the invoice.
- Open the invoice when you need to send, print, download, duplicate, edit, delete, or record payment.
