🔍 What Are Manually Created Source Invoices?
In situations where a fulfillment source you are leveraging does not provide a source invoice in an automated format, you can optionally create a source invoice manually via the UI.
Example Scenario:
- A source (e.g., Supplier X) sends a paper invoice for Order #7001’s FR/FO, which you need to enter manually.
- You create a source invoice with a total cost of $60, including a $5 shipping fee, and mark it as paid.
- This invoice helps calculate profitability by comparing it to the order’s $80 revenue.

🛠️ How-to Guides
A. How to Create/Edit a Source Invoice
To create a source invoice, navigate to an order that needs an invoice and find the Add Invoice button.
Image: This screenshot shows the invoice creation screen, where you can configure fields like FR/FO association, payment status, and line items (e.g., product cost of $9.99).
After clicking Add Invoice, you will be presented with a screen that allows you to configure invoice fields such as:
- Fulfillment request/Fulfillment orders to associate the invoice with.
- Payment status of the invoice.
- Line items (product, shipping, tax, fees, etc.).
The product line item will have additional information associated, such as:
- Subtotal (cost).
- Title.
- FR/FO item associated.
- Quantity submitted.
- Per unit cost.
Clicking Save (for updates) or Add (for new invoices) will persist this invoice and associate it with the order/fulfillment request/fulfillment orders.
This guide ensures you can create or edit source invoices effectively.
