Bravely uses five invoice statuses to help you track your billing at every stage. Here’s what each one means and how it’s used:
Draft
The invoice is still being prepared and hasn’t been finalised.
Only visible to you (not the client)
Can be edited freely, including client, billables, and payment options
You can leave it as a draft or continue to open it later
Tip: Use drafts to prepare invoices ahead of time or save work in progress.
Open
The invoice is active and visible to the client.
Payment can be made online if BravelyPay is enabled
Manual payment instructions (if selected) will be shown to the client
Partial
The client has made a partial payment, but the full balance hasn’t been received yet.
Invoice will remain open until the total amount is paid
You can see the remaining balance on the invoice
Paid
The full amount has been received.
Automatically updated if using BravelyPay
Can also be manually marked as paid if using offline payment methods
A receipt is sent to the client
Receipts can be resent or downloaded anytime.
Voided
The invoice has been cancelled and is no longer valid.
Can’t be paid or reopened
Useful for correcting errors or cancelling an accidental invoice
Voided invoices remain in your records for tracking purposes
You can create a new invoice if needed — voiding does not delete the original.
