- Resend—this button appears after the invoice has been sent. Pressing it sends the invoice one more time.
- Mark as sent—if you're not sending the invoice through the system but by any other channel (e.g. email, customer’s portal, etc.), you may use this button to remember the date of sending.
- Mark as unsent—this button appears if the invoice has been sent. Pressing it deletes the date of sending.
Note : To remove the "Produced by Protemos" watermark, that is displayed in documents generated by the system, you should have a paid account.
- Write off—this button marks the invoice as fully paid. Write off is the unpaid part of the invoice that you are not expecting to be paid in the future, so you may want to mark the invoice as fully paid by adding a write off.
E.g. you invoiced the client for 1000 EUR but got 990 EUR because of the bank charges, and for some reason, you are not going to ask the client to pay 10 EUR difference.
- Discount and Extra charge—you may add a discount and an extra charge to the invoice by pressing this button.
- Update—opens Update invoice page where you can edit the invoice.
- Delete—deletes the invoice. This button disappears after you link the invoice with the payment.
Note : For invoices with linked payments only "Download as PDF", "Send", "Mark as unsent", and "Write off" buttons are available.
To make all the buttons available, you need to unlink the payments first. It can be done on the page of the corresponding payment from the client.
