Learn how to Commit a Temporary Invoice

When an Invoice is first raised via the Invoice Generator, it will initially have the status of ‘temporary’, temporary Invoices can be amended, and deleted, as they have not yet been issued to customers yet.

Once you have checked over a temporary Invoice, and you are happy with all the Items contained in it and the overall cost, you can commit the invoice so that the customer will receive a copy, and so they can pay it before the due date.
