Invoices

What invoice statuses mean

Understand common invoice statuses such as draft, unpaid, part-paid, paid, overdue and cancelled.

Invoice statuses help you understand what stage an invoice is at.

Common statuses

  • Draft means the invoice is being prepared.
  • Unpaid means no payment has been recorded.
  • Part-paid means some money has been paid but a balance remains.
  • Paid means the full amount has been recorded as paid.
  • Overdue means the invoice is past its due date and still unpaid or part-paid.
  • Cancelled means the invoice should no longer be treated as active.

Why statuses matter

  • They help you follow up with customers and understand outstanding money.
