You can also add payments for invoices or multiple invoices at once. See Bulk payments for more information.
In Progress invoices
The In Progress invoice list shows all of the invoices that are currently being worked on and have not yet been sent to the client.
Sort the invoice lists by clicking on any of the underlined column headers (e.g. Client, Inv. No, Invoice Date). Click the column header once to sort ascending (alphabetical/numerical); click again to sort descending.
Pending Approval invoices
'Pending Approval' is an optional status that you may choose to use, depending on how many levels of approval you have in your workflow. For example, if your Field staff create invoices on the job, they might set them to Pending Approval so that your Accounts Department knows to check them before sending them to a client.
Approved invoices
The Approved invoice list shows all the invoices that have been sent to the client. These invoices are ready to send across to your accounting package via an Accounting Integration, or be manually processed.
Verify Invoice No. field
If your AroFlo site is integrated with an accounting package, you will not see the 'Verify Invoice No' field, as there is no need for you to complete verification.
Invoices with 
(in the Inv. column) mean the Cust. Invoiced checkbox has been ticked on the invoice. This is used to flag invoices that have been sent to the customer.
Processed invoices
The processed invoices list shows all of the invoices that have been sent across to your accounting package, either via an integration link or manually.
When viewing processed invoices, you'll have an additional date range filter. Use this to select a From and a To date
