There are two invoice views:
- Standard: The Standard layout is suitable for most types of invoicing using online methods.

Envelope: The Envelope layout is set up to ensure that the address information fits into the windows of a standard size 10 double-window envelope. (For a single-window envelope, the destination address should be visible within the single window).
Here are the recommended envelope specifications:• #9, 3-7/8" x 8-7/8"
• Top Window Size: 1-1/4" x 3-1/2"
• Top Window Placement: 5/8" left, 2-1/4" bottom
• Bottom Window Size: 1" x 4"
• Bottom Window Placement: 5/8" left, 5/8" bottomThis layout is organized so that the customer's name and address are shown in the destination window at the bottom, and the company information shows in the origin/return address window at the top. This layout is used if the intent is to print the invoices manually in order to mail them to customers.
The grey boxes on the layout show the visible portion of the invoice; that is, what will show in the windows.

7) OVERVIEW
The summary section of the invoice can be customized to show/hide fields. The overview box holds the fields that show up in the summary section. The field visibility can be turned On or Off here. If all fields are turned off in the overview box, the summary section will not appear on any invoice.
The fields available are as follows:
- Opening Balance: This is the balance owing (or on deposit) at the time that this invoice was posted. It does NOT include any charges that are on the current invoice.
- Closing Balance: The Opening Balance plus the charges on this invoice.
- Invoice Number: The incremental number as defined by the system (using the starting number that was set).
- Invoice Amount: The total amount of charges on this invoice.
- Posted Date: The date this invoice was posted. This field will always be blank on a Draft invoice.
- Due Date: The date the payment for this invoice is due. If the customer is on Net 0 terms, this date will be the same as the posted date; otherwise, it will be the date the customers' term becomes due.
- Terms: The number of days until the invoice is due.
- Status: Whether the invoice is Due, Overdue, etc. based on the amount owing and the net terms.
The Opening and Closing Balance fields are never included on a Projected Invoice, even if they are configured here.

Show Tracked Quantities On Invoices: The tracked item field display can be turned On or Off. There are more options when this is turned On:
- Choose whether to display the tracked items Inline or on a Separate Page.
- Inline will show each set of tracked items below its corresponding charge item. This is usually the best option for customers who have only a few tracked items per product (e.g. less than 20).
- Separate Page will show all tracked items on a separate page (or pages) from the main invoice. They are summarized by product/charge items. This is a better option for customers who have lots of tracked items per product.
- A user can also choose and customize the label of which tracked items fields to show in the summary.
- Override Tracked Item Page - this is the label that will show at the top of the separate page
- Override Main Invoice Message - this is the text that will show at the bottom of the main invoice to indicate that the tracked items are on a separate page
9) NOTES
Notes Label: Customize the title for the notes section.
Invoice Note: The Invoice Note section allows a user to enter the text that will appear by default on all invoices generated across an account.
Projected Invoice Notes: These are notes that only appear on a Projected Invoice, and can be different from those on a posted invoice.
