Your invoice setup can be tailored with runs and periods, offering you the ability to configure your invoice as needed. The end of an existing run period is determined by the start of the subsequent one hence, it’s essential to establish at least one future run period to finalise the current one.

Create an invoice run

  1. From the three line menu click Settings, then select Finance.

  2. Click Invoice, then select Runs.

  3. Click the plus button, then input a description and instructions.

  4. Use the drop-down menus to choose the relevant details.

  5. Click save.

Create a invoice period

After creating your run, you can establish your invoice periods.

Each period is based on the start date, so if you enter 1 January and 1 February, you create one period: 1-31 January.

  3. Click into the relevant run.
