The Print Invoices window lets you generate invoices, debit memos, commitments, chargebacks, credit memos, and adjustments to send to your customers.
You can preview the transactions that will print by selecting the Invoice Print Preview program.
Note: You can also use Balance Forward Billing to create a single document that summarizes all of a customer's activity for a specific period. For more information, see: Balance Forward Billing.
The system option Allow Change to Printed Transactions determines whether you can update a transaction after it has been printed. However, you cannot update a transaction if it has activity against it, regardless of how you set this option. Examples of activity include payments, credit memos, adjustments, and including the transaction on a balance forward bill.
The Print Date field in the Transactions window shows you the last time a transaction was printed.
If you use Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA), then you can use the BPA icon to preview completed transactions online. See: Viewing Online Bills.
