In the drop-down menu, you will find three options to choose from. If you need to include other timesheet hours or expenses logged for the project, select "Timesheet Hours/Expenses."
Selecting "Product Line Item" allows you to include any product-related expenses incurred. These product subscriptions can be configured in the Finances >> Settings section. By choosing this option, you can add a product line item from the list of products, specify the quantity to be invoiced, and click "Add" to include it in the invoice. You can add multiple Product Line Items by selecting "+Add Product."
- After adding all the line items corresponding to the timesheet hours logged during the billing period, you can also include any additional line items that need to be invoiced. To do this, simply click on the "+Add" button.

You can also include taxes and apply discounts to the invoice as needed. When adding a discount, you have the option to choose between a Discount Percentage or a Discount Value.
Alternatively, if you prefer a flat value discount instead of a percentage, choose Discount Value and input the specific discount amount to be deducted from the subtotal.
If you opt for a Discount Percentage, it will subtract a percentage discount from the total invoice value. Simply select this option and enter the percentage of the discount you want to apply. The total invoice amount will adjust accordingly.
Choose the appropriate tax that is applicable to the invoice. The tax amount will be included in the total invoice amount after any discounts have been applied.

Once you have filled in all the required information, you have the option to either save the invoice as a draft or proceed to generate the invoice. Simply choose the appropriate action from the buttons located at the top of the screen.

To edit or update drafted invoices:

Navigate to the Projects section in the left navigation pane and select the Finances tab. Make sure you are on the Invoices tab to view all the invoices saved as drafts or already generated.
Click on the three dots icon next to the drafted invoice to access various options. Choose "Update" to edit the invoice.
Make the necessary changes to the invoice details in the window that opens up. Once you are done, click on "Update Invoice" to save the changes to the invoice as a draft. If you are ready to generate the invoice, select "Generate Invoice."
If you decide to cancel a drafted invoice, click on the three dots icon and select "Cancel Invoice" from the drop-down menu.
