A record of all invoices ever created is saved. These invoices can be reprinted, e-mailed, and analyzed.
Three Main Sections
This screen consists of three main sections:
(A) Header - includes invoice number date, customer name, and invoice total with and without tax
By default, the Invoice number is being sorted in descending order; the most recent invoice is always at the top of the list.
Locate
To find a specific invoice, type the invoice number and press Enter. To locate by another field, click on the column title of Invoice#, Station, Date, or Time and enter desired information. Clicking twice will reverse the sort order.
Calendar Icon
By default you will see all invoices. However, with the Calendar you can set a date range of invoices to be viewed.
Date - opens a calendar button to find invoices of a specific date
Send
Export the current listing of invoices based upon a date range or the results of the Invoice Quick Find to HTML, or Excel, or a variety of other formats. (see Send)
Invoice Quick Find
Find all invoices which contain a specific invoice number, original order number, SKU, Description, or any string of text in the body of the invoice (section B) including note entries, prompt contents, and serial numbers. (see Invoice Quick Find)
Clone
In the upper right corner you can choose to create a copy of the highlighted invoice. You will be prompted for the Customer: Keep Original Customer, Customer Sale, Quick Sale or Cancel. A new invoice is created with all the items listed.
Re-print any invoice. Choose the default printer, another printer, or choose Preview and save the invoice as a PDF file or HTML file.
Right-Mouse-Click on the Invoice Number provides options to
| • | Print Invoice - same as the Print button described above |
| • | Print Packing Slip - prints the invoice without pricing information |
| • | Print Shipping Label - the label will automatically print unless you have activated the Preview Label option. To make changes to this feature, go to Station Settings, Printers/E-Mail. Choose Printing Options, Customer Labels Tab, fill in the Bill-To Label and Ship-To Label information. |
| • | Customer Details - opens the customer record for editing. However, the invoice re-print will NOT be changed because it is permanent history. |
Views
At the far left, the following options can be used to focus on different aspects of this header area.
Reference # - (the default)
Customer - shows all invoices for the currently highlighted customer invoice. Can choose the Customer [F9] button at the top to select a different customer.
Purchase Order # - if the invoice prompted for the customer's purchase order number, that number can be found here. If the PO number needs to be changed, highlight the invoice and select Change PO Number under Actions at the bottom left.
Serial Number - if a serialized inventory item was sold, the invoice can be found by entering the serial number of the item. If you are tracking serial numbers on service orders, those serial numbers are also accessible.
Order Number - If the invoice originated as a Layaway, Order, or any other pending transaction then the final invoice can be found by entering the original pending order number.
TIP: The Invoice Quick Find option (Binocular icon) on this screen can search for any pending transaction number. Invoices created from other pending transactions will display its original source on the General section at the bottom center of the screen. (see Invoice Quick Find)
Also from the Properties: General menu, in the Sold to section at bottom right, there is a field called Converted which will show if the invoice was originally a pending transaction and if so, the original number will appear in the field.
(B) Detail - the items purchased includes SKU, Description, quantity, price, discount percentage, and line total.
If there is a backordered quantity, then the invoice was split into a pending order for the customer and includes all items which were not delivered.
Right-Mouse-Click on a line item provides options to
| • | Adjust Cost - change the cost of the line item to the current cost or some other value |
| • | Properties - to review the source of the product, sales history, commissions, returns and other useful information. (see Item Properties) |
(C) Footer - additional information about the invoice based on the selection of Properties at the far left.
