What is the billing history box?
Found on the right side of a client page, the billing history box is the record of balances, invoices, deposits, and payments specific to that client.
To view a client's billing history, go to their client profile. The billing history box appears on the right of the page below the last communication with that client.
Invoices and payments
In the Billing history box, invoices that are Awaiting Payment will display in black text. Once an invoice is marked Paid, it will show as PAID in a green box.
Similarly, payments and deposits will also show in the billing history box. Once a payment or deposit has been Applied to an invoice or quote, it will say which item it's applied to. Payments that are not associated with any invoice will show as "applied to account balance".
Invoices that have been sent to the client and are now Awaiting Payment, show up in the Billing history box. If an invoice is still in Draft status, it will show in a note will below the box and will not be counted in with the client's balance.
