Invoice status

Roles: admins | Paid Feature

Once you are done with your invoice, you can Save it as a draft or Mark it as finished.

Once your invoice is marked as finished, it will be set automatically to Open. You can change the status to Paid, Void, or Uncollectible.

You can also revert the status to Draft and duplicate the invoice.

📝 An invoice with status "open" that has a due date in the past, will be shown as Overdue.

Export your invoices

How to download an invoice:

  1. Go to Invoices.

  2. Open the invoice you'd like to export or create it following these steps.

  3. At the top right corner, click on the 3 dots button to visualize all available exporting options. You can choose from PDF, CSV and a link to share with people outside of TrackingTime.

💡 You can export your invoices as CSV and then import them directly into your Quickbooks account.

Create an invoice from your timesheets

When all your billable hours are logged and your timesheets are complete, you can use that information to easily create an invoice to bill your clients.

How to create an invoice from a timesheet report:

  1. Go to Reports>Timesheets and generate a report. Remember to use the date picker to select the correct time range and the filters to exclude the information you don't need.

  2. On the top right corner, click on Export.

  3. Choose "Invoice" from the options.

  4. A pop-up with options will show up: "Group by" to gather together the hours by project, task, user or none and "Mark time entries as billed" when the invoice is created.

  5. Click on Export to get your invoice. That's it!
