The Invoice Summary Report is your quickest view of the invoices generated and their status. By default, this report will show the previous 30 days’ worth of invoices. But that can always be adjusted by using the Options button.
When you first click on the report, you have the option to run the report in Landscape or Portrait. Click on the corresponding button to open the report viewer. The report layout options are not available on the report options once run.
Note: Clicking on any invoice line will open the invoice in a new window.
The report shows the following details:
- Invoice Memo – if you see this icon, you’ll know there is an internal note on the invoice. Hovering over the icon gives a preview of the memo. Clicking on the icon opens a window to see the full memo.
- Invoice # – this is the unique serial number of the invoice
- Date – the date of the invoice
- Status – the status of the invoice. While invoice status can be customized by a system administrator in Settings > Pop Up List > Invoice Status, the standard statuses are:
- Not Submitted – meaning the invoice has not yet been sent to the customer
- Submitted – the invoice has been sent
- Paid in Full – the invoice balance due is $0
- Due Terms – how old is the invoice?
- Blue Text – 1 – 30 days past due
