Invoices and receivables

Save invoice changes before preparing issuance

Review the saved document revision rather than unsaved form values.

Updated 2026-11-11

The invoice form asks you to save draft changes before preparing issuance. Issuance reviews a saved revision with its customer details, lines and account mappings. Unsaved values in the editor are not the same evidence as the retained document.

Finish the intended edits, select the draft save action and confirm the result. Then reopen or refresh issuance and review the current customer, dates, currency and accounts. If the draft changed elsewhere, use the current revision rather than retrying an older confirmation.

A source mismatch can occur when the saved customer details no longer match the chosen active contact. Resolve that in the draft and directory, save again and inspect the refreshed issuance evidence. Do not assume a correct total makes a mismatched recipient acceptable.

Once submitted, the saved draft may be frozen until withdrawn or returned through the supported workflow. Use those controls when another edit is needed. Keeping preparation and issuance on the same saved revision makes the eventual PDF and accounting record easier to verify.
