Introduction
After generating an invoice, it is important for you to view the data to ensure its accuracy and apply any last-minute alterations (Funding). All before downloading them to share with parents and carers.
We have developed an easy-to-read Invoice that holds all the key details for your children at your Early Years setting while laying it out in a clean yet visually appealing style that will elevate your business to the next level.

Step 3 - Ensure that you have only 1 invoice selected

Funding
Last but certainly not least, we have Funded at the bottom of the page. You can learn about applying Funding to an invoice in our dedicated help article below:
Funding can be presented on an invoice in 2 ways.
Before Reduction - No funding applied, Funding is editable
After Reduction - Funding is applied and reduction is taken from the invoiced attendance and extras values.
Hints: Funding is not editable. To edit funding, you must void an invoice and start again. More than 1 funding can be applied to 1 invoice. Simply repeat the process and it will continue to add additional lines of reduction to the invoice.
