Compose an invoice

Use the
Compose
tab of the
Detail Billing
screen to change the appearance of the invoice that you send to your client. You can preview how the invoice detail will display on the invoice, change text formatting and alignment, add and remove rows of text, and rearrange blocks of text in the invoice as needed.
note
Changes you make to your custom invoice formats won't affect invoices previously composed and saved. To make custom invoice format changes display on an invoice that you have already composed:
  1. Edit the invoice.
  2. Select Refresh in the
    Compose
    tab of the
    Detail Billing
    screen.
  3. Compose the invoice again.
  4. Re-save the invoice before you print it.
You can also edit amounts on the
Compose
tab if the following conditions exist:
  • The sum of the edited amounts equals their subtotal.
  • The sum of subtotals equals the total billed amount from the
    Summary
    tab of the
    Detail Billing
    screen.
note
The application will verify totals only for amounts entered in fields designated as
Amount
fields. These are fields that automatically fill with
0.00
when you add a new row and that accept only numbers. The application doesn't validate the amounts that you enter in a free-form text row.

Rearranging rows and sections

You can select and drag a row or section to move it up or down on the invoice.
  1. Select a row or section.
  2. Select and hold down the left mouse button.
  3. Drag the section up or down the screen until displays where the section will be placed.
  4. Release the left mouse button to drop the row or section into the new location.
