What do the different invoice statuses mean?

Explains Draft, Sent, Outstanding, Partially Paid, Paid, and Overdue.

An invoice's status tells you where the money stands, and the tabs on the Invoices page group your billing by them.

The Invoices page with status tabs and a list showing draft, sent, paid, and overdue invoices


What each status means

The invoice status tabs from All through Write-Off

Status

Meaning

Draft

Created but not sent — the client hasn't seen it.

Sent

Emailed to the client, waiting on payment.

Partial Payment

Some money's in, a balance remains.

Paid

Paid in full — balance is zero.

Overdue

The due date passed with a balance still owing.

Write-Off

Closed out as uncollectible.

Tip: The Overdue tab is your follow-up list — the invoice row shows how many days late each one is, so you know who to call first.
