      Tips:

      • You can edit the invoice by clicking on the pencil on the right side after you click on Save but before Post and Close.
      • In case the client is selected, the invoice is recoverable from the client and will show up as the disbursement in Clients & Matters for that client.
      • If there are more than one item in the invoice, you can press tab and can enter the rest of the items in the following rows.
      • The taxes will be shown based on the code used.
      • The AutoText feature can be used by clicking on AutoText > New and create an autotext entry. This can be used in the description by typing the autotext code in the description and pressing the spacebar to use customized descriptions.
