Invoices

Geekonomics includes a simple invoicing system for billing clients and exporting professional PDF invoices.

Creating an Invoice

  1. Go to Invoices in the left sidebar
  2. Click + New Invoice
  3. Fill in:
    • Client — select from your client list (required)
    • Invoice Number — auto-generated from your prefix (e.g. INV-0042), editable
    • Issue Date — defaults to today
    • Due Date — optional
    • Business Line — which line of business this invoice belongs to
  4. Add line items using + Add Line Item. Each line item has:
    • Description
    • Quantity
    • Unit Price
    • The line total is calculated automatically
  5. Add a Note at the bottom (optional — appears on the PDF)
  6. Click Save as Draft

The invoice total, tax (using your company's default tax rate from Settings), and grand total are computed automatically.

Invoice Statuses

StatusMeaningWhat you can do
DraftNot yet sentEdit freely, delete
SentSent to clientMark paid, mark overdue, cancel
PaidClient has paidNo further changes
OverduePast due date, unpaidMark paid, cancel
CancelledVoidedNo further changes

Move an invoice through statuses using the action buttons on the invoice detail page.

Marking an Invoice Paid

When a client pays, open the invoice and click Mark Paid. This changes the status to Paid and removes the balance from the client's outstanding total.

TIP

Marking an invoice paid does not automatically create a transaction. You should also add an income transaction for the payment amount so it appears in your P&L.

Exporting to PDF

Click Export PDF from the invoice detail page to download a formatted PDF invoice. The PDF includes your company name, address, and logo (if configured), client info, line items, totals, and any notes.

Invoice Numbering

Invoice numbers are generated using the prefix configured in Settings → Company Info (e.g. INV) followed by a zero-padded sequence number. You can override the number on any individual invoice.
