Use the lifecycle actions

  1. 1

    Mark sent without email

    Use Mark as sent when the invoice was delivered outside Unify Revenue. This opens the invoice without sending a message.

  2. 2

    Return it to draft

    Use Mark as draft when an open invoice needs more editing before it is shared again.

  3. 3

    Write it off

    Use Write off for a balance you no longer expect to collect, and add a note explaining the decision.

  4. 4

    Reopen it

    Reopen a written-off invoice when collection should resume.

Good to know

The date entered while marking an invoice as sent is used by the action but is not presented as a separate delivery-history record. Keep external delivery evidence where your process requires it.
