View and print an invoice

Invoices are created:

  • automatically upon the receipt of payment towards any order (including when a payment is recorded manually);
  • automatically according to the Invoice Schedule of an order (e.g. when a product's Invoice Schedule Template mandates termly instalments, invoices will be raised and sent to the customer automatically). See below for more information on automatic invoicing.
  • manually by users, through clicking the Raise Invoice button - if an invoice is due (according to the Order's Invoicing Schedule), and automatic invoicing is switched off for an order, Swiftlier will remind the user that an invoice should be created.

For Parties (a person or an organisation) with just one order, invoices can be viewed and downloaded from both the Orders and Billing tabs.

If a Party has more than one order, they can choose an Order from the Orders tab to view the invoices just for that order, or can see a summary of all invoices across all orders via the Billing tab.

Viewing and printing an invoice in the Orders Tab

In the Orders tab you will see a variety of information relevant to that order. If the order has had an invoice successfully created a green invoiced label will appear next to the order number at the top of the page.

Invoice information can be seen at the bottom of the open tab. Here the Invoice number, amount and creation date are visible along with any payments or refunds that have been allocated to that invoice (marked with a green line).
