Overview
Invoices are primarily generated through the process of a member registering through your Uplifter site. However, administrators can also manually create invoices for any member with a member account. Once created, administrators with the correct permissions can view and edit an invoice.
Invoices display the details that were provided to the member upon registration completion, along with the specific policies that were confirmed at the time of registration. Any additional administrative functions or details are also displayed, such as notes on the invoice and links to edit the invoice for administrators with the correct permissions.
The Invoices page is found by navigating to Accounting > Invoices. In order to access the Invoices page you will need the following permissions: Admin, Edit Invoices, View Invoices.

Invoice Manager
The invoice manager page is your centralized hub to review all things invoices.

When you first navigate to Accounting > Invoices you'll be greeted by a list of your completed invoices.
There is a lot of at a glance information available on this screen to make your life easier. We've also included a handy legend for your reference.
For any invoice that has not been allowed to expire you can view their status by the sliver of colour on the far left of the invoice segment. Green is completed (note that this may not mean all payments have been received), blue is on hold, and grey is pending (only listed if you filter for this status).
The invoice number, completion date/time, payment interval and medium can all be found on the left side of the segment. The middle will display the member's name to whom the invoice has been issued. On the left of the segment you will find the full cost of the invoice, the current invoice payment status, and any owing balances. You will also find the option to Edit
or View
the invoice.
