The Invoices page lists all of the invoices you’ve entered into MYOB Essentials. For each invoice, the invoice number, customer, date issued, date due, total amount andamount due is listed. To find an invoice, you can use the search feature or filter the list by type.

Every invoice has one of the following statuses:

  • Paid — for invoices that have been paid in full.
  • Not Paid — for invoices that haven't been paid.
  • Overdue — for all invoices that are overdue.
  • Return — for all customer returns and credits.

The icons in the Sent column indicate whether the emails were sent successfully or not. Hover over the icon to get more information.
