Internal invoice function

The Internal Invoice function lets you mark an Invoice as internal — for example, when work is done on a company vehicle. This helps you track paying customers separately from non-paying internal jobs in your reports.

Step 1: Create the Invoice

  1. Create your Invoice by following the How to Create a Customer Invoice guide.

Step 2: Mark as Internal

  1. On the Invoice, find the Internal Invoice toggle on the right-hand side.
  2. Change the toggle to Yes.

Good to Know

  • Several sales reports include an Internal field that lets you filter or separate internal jobs from customer-paying jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does marking an invoice as internal affect the total?

No, the invoice total remains the same. The internal flag is for reporting purposes only — it helps you distinguish between customer-paid and company-paid work.

Can I change an invoice from internal to external after processing?

You may need to adjust the toggle before finalising. Check with your administrator if the invoice has already been synced to your accounting system.
