## Understand the invoice list

An invoice list is the work area where you review invoice records and choose how to start invoice
work.

The list has these columns:

| Column | Use it to… |
|---|---|
| **Number** | Identify the invoice. |
| **Customer** | See the customer associated with the invoice. |
| **Invoice Date** | Read the invoice date. |
| **Due Date** | Read the due date. |
| **Activities** | See activities associated with the invoice. |
| **Tax Excluded** | Read the amount before tax. |
| **Total** | Read the total amount. |
| **Total in Currency** | Read the total in the invoice currency. |
| **Payment** | Review the payment state shown for the invoice. |
| **Status** | Review the invoice status. |

Use the column headers to review an invoice. When you are ready to start invoice work, continue to
Create or import an invoice.

## Create or import an invoice

The invoice list offers three ways to start invoice work. Select the choice that matches the work
you need to start.

Steps

1. Choose one option:

   | If you need to… | Select |
   |---|---|
   | Start a new invoice | **New** |
   | Import invoice information | **Upload** |
   | Follow the invoice setup prompt | **Create Invoice** |

**Result:** You have identified how to start invoice work. Continue to What to do next.
