Invoice Settings

Settings → Invoice Settings controls how invoices are numbered, penalised, discounted, and displayed.

Numbering

• Invoice prefix and next number - e.g. INV- and 260234; Sawfish increments reliably from there, with enhanced sequencing logic so numbers never collide.
• Use provider numbering - hand numbering over to Xero/MYOB if their sequence is the source of truth.

Late fees and early payment discounts

Charge overdue invoices an automatic percentage fee (with a grace period), and offer a discount to customers who pay before the due date. Both are configured here - the full explainer of how and when they apply is at Late Fees and Early Payment Discounts.

Fees, discounts and display

• Default account code - where invoice lines land in your chart when not set per line.
• MYOB invoice type - Item, Service, Professional, Time Billing, or Miscellaneous, for correctly typed MYOB syncing.
• Invoice display settings - the columns, labels, and layout choices covered under The invoice PDF.

Note

Late fees and discounts apply to invoices issued after you enable them - existing invoices keep the terms they were sent with.
