Invoices
Invoices are generated from completed work orders and sent to customers for payment. RoutePilot tracks invoice status from draft through payment.
Creating an Invoice
Invoices are typically created by converting a completed work order:
- Open the completed work order
- Click Generate Invoice
- Review the line items, adjustments, and total
- Click Save (the invoice starts as Draft)
You can also create invoices manually from Billing → Invoices → New Invoice if you need to bill outside of a work order.
Invoice Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Invoice exists but has not been sent |
| Sent | Delivered to customer |
| Viewed | Customer opened the invoice |
| Partial | Partial payment received |
| Paid | Fully paid |
| Overdue | Past due date, no payment received |
| Void | Invoice cancelled |
Sending an Invoice
From the invoice detail:
- Click Send Invoice
- Choose delivery: email, payment link, or both
- Review the message and click Send
The customer receives an email with the invoice details and a payment link.
Payment Links
Payment links allow customers to pay online via card. When a payment is completed, the invoice status updates to Paid automatically.
Payment links can be sent:
- Alongside the invoice email
- Separately as a standalone link (useful for texting to customers)
- Via the technician on-site at job completion
Adjusting an Invoice
To add discounts, additional charges, or fix line items:
- Open the invoice
- Click Edit
- Modify line items
- Save
You can edit a draft or sent invoice. Once an invoice is marked Paid, editing requires voiding and reissuing.
Warning
Do not void a paid invoice unless you are issuing a refund or correcting a genuine error. Voided invoices cannot be un-voided. The Accounts Receivable report reflects void status.
