Why invoice payment sales show View invoice

Some rows on the Sales page are invoice payment sales. These are created from invoice payments rather than ordinary manual sales. They show View invoice so you can open the original invoice and understand the customer, invoice number, items, services, and payment history.

What invoice payment sales mean

• The sale came from an invoice payment.
• The row may show the invoice number.
• The row may show the customer name.
• The row may show items or services from the invoice.
• The correct place to understand the full record is the invoice page.

Why View invoice is useful

• It prevents confusion because the sale is connected to a customer invoice.
• It lets you see who paid.
• It lets you see what the invoice was for.
• It lets you see whether the invoice is paid, part-paid, or still open.
• It keeps invoice records and sales records connected.

Important warning

• Invoice payment sales should not be treated like ordinary standalone sales.
• If the payment amount or invoice status looks wrong, open the invoice and correct the payment from the invoice workflow.
• This helps prevent sales and invoice balances from becoming inconsistent.
