Create Invoice
What is this?
Most invoices in this system are generated automatically when an Order is created or a Draft order is published (see Create Order). A standalone "New Invoice" form also exists in the sidebar for direct invoice creation, though it was not deep-tested in this audit.
Why use it?
To bill a client for an order without waiting for a separate manual step.
Before you start
If "Send invoice to client" was left on when the order was created, the client will be emailed automatically. Confirm this toggle's state before finalizing any real order.
What happens after saving?
Confirmed in this audit: the resulting invoice carries over the order's client, currency, every line item, and the exact total (subtotal, tax, and grand total all matched the source order to the cent). The invoice starts in Unpaid status with a due date 30 days after the issue date by default.
