To create an invoice, click on the 'Invoices'-'Create Invoice' link.

The invoice creation page will come up as below:

The invoice creation fields are described below:

2. Title: Enter in the main title for the invoice e.g. 'Mobilization Payment'.
3. Description: Enter in the details of what this invoice is for e.g. 'Payment for mobilization of candidates for interview'. This field is optional.
   
4. Amount: Enter in the amount that is to be charged. This field accepts numbers and decimal points only.

To view the list of existing invoice, click on the 'View Invoices' link on the menu

The invoice list page will appear as below:

The buttons above the list allow you to create a new invoice, filter the list or reset it respectively.

The filter button opens a panel that gives you different options for filtering your list

You can search for invoices based on users, title or description. You can also filter based on payment status and dates. Finally, you can view all invoices within a certain category.

If you wish to change the status of an invoice from 'Unpaid' to 'Paid', the recommended way is to use the invoice approval feature.

Clicking on the 'Actions' button on the invoice list will reveal the 'Approve' button

When you click on the 'Approve' button, the user will get an email notification informing them that their invoice has been approved. If however you simply edit an invoice and change it's payment status, this email will not be sent.
