​

Invoice Date

Specify which day of the month invoices should be set to.
​

Invoice Due Date

Dictate how many days of the month after the invoice date it should be due.
​

Auto Invoicing

By default invoices are sent over to Xero once, meaning you will want to go into Xero to mark invoices as recurring.
​
To reduce the amount of admin time your team need to spend managing invoices, enable Auto-Invoicing to allow GoProposal to send invoices over to Xero each month.

Find out more in our guide, Set up Auto-Invoicing from GoProposal to Xero.

Congratulations! You're all done.

When your client signs their engagement letter the invoices will be generated for you automatically in Xero.

If you have opted to use auto-invoicing, you will also be able to manage these from a separate invoices dashboard within All repeating.
