Purpose Statement
The Change Form On Demand feature allows users to select a different invoice form for an individual invoice without affecting other invoices. This provides flexibility when different invoice layouts or templates are needed for specific customers or situations.
Background Information
Invoice forms determine the layout and formatting used when generating an invoice. If the incorrect form was selected during invoice creation or a different format is required, users can change the form directly from the invoice before finalizing it.
This feature applies only to the selected invoice and does not modify the default invoice form or other existing invoices.
Required Permissions
Users must have the following permission enabled to change an invoice form on demand:
- Invoice Change Form On Demand
If the invoice form dropdown is unavailable or cannot be modified, verify that the user's role includes this permission.
