Invoice tracker

The Invoice tracker will keep you up to date on the status of the invoice and shows you 5 possible statuses:

• Sent - the date you sent the invoice to your customer
• Accepted - the date your customer entered the bill into their Bill.com account
• Approved - the date your customer approves the bill for payment, if they use an approval workflow
• Payment Incoming - the date the payment will deposit in your bank account
• Paid outside of Bill.com - your customer has marked this invoice as paid without sending a live payment through Bill.com
  • The invoice will still show as unpaid in your account until you record a manual payment on it. Contact your customer for more information on payment.
