Amount due on invoice payment slip not reflecting credit notes applied

Problem reported by Robert Coton 9 years ago

Hi - I have a customer who double paid an invoice. I issued a credit note and applied that to their next invoice. However when they were sent the invoice although the email shows the outstanding amount the full amount shows on the invoice and doesn't show that there was a credit against it and only a small balance. Consequently they have paid us the full amount again. I did draw it to their attention in the covering email but they have obviously gone on what's showing on the invoice. How can the outstanding amount be shown on the invoice. It doesn't make sense that the payment slip is showing the original invoice amount and not the amount actually due.

Hi Robert,

Are you using a custom invoice theme for the invoice and if so has the payment history been hidden on it -

To check head to Settings>Configure system > Invoice themes and click on the edit link for the custom theme:

Scroll down the list of settings and make sure payment history is enabled

I only ask the above as credit notes should normally show up and affect the amount outstanding on the PDF invoice view:
