Finalizing Invoices
New invoices have the status Draft
. You can check draft invoices for correctness and edit them as necessary. If you approve of a draft invoice, you Finalize it. This process
- sets the status to
Open
, making the invoice effective, that is, due for payment (and unalterable), - sets the invoice date (if not defined beforehand on invoice creation or using
Preferred Invoice Date
on subscriptions), - sets a unique final invoice number based on the configured invoice counter (see Counters and Number Ranges), and
-
creates PDF documents.
Find the produced files on Salesforce's Files tab in the group Owned by me, if not configured otherwise (see File Distribution).
In order to apply the correct tax, make sure that the invoice line items have set a correct service period or, as a fallback, the invoice has set a correct date.
