List of all invoices
This list is showing all invoices with status Assembled, Ready For Posting, and Posted. Numerous filter-options are available, such as accounts receivable/payable, companies, voyages et cetera. These filters are persistent across all four tabs.
The Status filter allows you to filter on both Voyage and Invoice Status. By clicking on the More-filter, options for Port, Currency, Account, External Document No, Responsible Operator and Responsible Accountant can be selected.
Due to the extensive amount of data being displayed, some columns are hidden by default to prevent visual clutter. If you wish to see the following columns, you can turn them on in the customise columns menu.
External Document No
Due Date
Aging
By clicking the -icon you will see the sorting options available. By default the list is sorted by created date in descending order.
To the right of the Sorting button there is a button that allows you to Customise Columns.
The Document drawer for assembled, posted or ready for posting drawers invoices.
The label chip next to the Document ID is showing the current status of the invoice:
If the status is Assembled, you can change the status to back to Pending (dissolve the invoice), Ready for Posting or Posted
If the status is Ready for Posting, you can transition to Posted status only
You cannot change the status of invoices if the voyage has status Closed
In the top of the drawer, you will see four boxes for Amount, Paid Amount, Open Amount and Aging, defined as the total amount of the line items on the invoice, the total amount of registered payment(s), the remaining balance, and the days until/past the due date of the invoice.
Other useful fields are added on the main details section for you to be able to view or edit them:
In this section, you will see a list of all the line items on the invoice. Clicking on a Document Line, will bring up the Document Line modal, which contains more details about the line, as well as allowing you to change the Document Line Text if, and only if, the invoice has status Assembled.
You can only record a payment if the invoice has status Ready for posting or Posted, and the document is of type Credit In/Out and Invoice In/Out.
If you need to delete a payment that is connected to an invoice, you can select it in the "Receipts, Payments and Credit Notes" table in the document drawer, and clicking the delete button.
Alternatively, you can go directly to the payment, and click the delete button in the top right corner.
To print an invoice, open it in the document drawer, and click the button in the top of the drawer. If the invoice has status Assembled, you can choose between printing with or without DRAFT-watermark by clicking the little arrow down icon next to the button.
Aggregated line items
Some line items are automatically aggregated when printing an invoice:
Charter Hire lines
Lines on the document for the same rate and hire period are aggregated into a single line spanning the entire period.
The line will be generated using GMT or LT timezone, depending on the payment term set in the contract. If using local time, the timezone is that of the delivery port.
Commission lines
Lines on the document with same rate and business partner will be aggregated.
For time charter invoices, this aggregation can be turned on or off using the "Sum commission on hire invoices" setting.
VAT lines
Lines on the document for VAT that have the same VAT rate will be aggregated.
A brand new version of the invoice printout has been made available from version 7.7 and onwards. To switch between the new and old version, toggle the "Use new invoice template" setting under System Settings.
The new template brings along a beautiful new design language, as well as the ability to choose and select which data is being displayed in the printout.
The logo will automatically scale while retaining the aspect ratio, up to a maximum width of 150px. The taller the logo, the further the receiving party address lines will be pushed down. We recommend a width of 90px and height of 70px, though you may experiment with different dimensions to suit your needs.
The new template allows for 2 sections where you can freely specify a label and accompanying value to be displayed. These values will always map one-to-one to the position they have been placed in.
If a value cannot be fetched from the specified object path, the label will be removed from the printout.
If the section has not been configured, or no values at all can be fetched, the entire section will be removed from the printout.
This section consist of a box that allows you to put up to 8 freely selectable values with an accompanying label.
This section consist of a small box that allows you to put up to 4 freely selectable values with an accompanying label. It is positioned to the right of the bank details, below the document lines, and possibly the RoE & VAT section, if it exists.
We print the list of documents lines with document line text and amount. There are the following exceptions to this:
Hire invoices will always show one line on the PDF with the complete hire period you are invoicing.
Charter hire adjustments will always show as one line on the PDF.
Broker and Address Commission with the same percentage, will each be summed and display as one line on the invoice.
VAT lines with the same percentage will be summed up and display as one line on the invoice.
If you have sat the preference "Sum Commission On Hire Invoices", the commission lines with the same % will be summed up and print as one line on the PDF.
If you have sat the preference "Show BL date" and/or "Show External Cargo Reference", the freight document line text will be appended with a line break and BL date or External Cargo Reference respectively.
If your issuing company has a different currency than the currency of the document, the PDF printout will automatically contain a section with the Rate of Exchange and the VAT in both currencies.
The old invoice template had a few settings that are now deprecated in the new template. The following settings have no effect if you are using the new template:
Show Company Address in Header
Show External Document No
Show IMO on Invoice
Show Business Partner VAT Number
Show Issuing Company VAT Number
