The Invoices page gives you a complete view of every invoice in your accounts receivable portfolio. You can filter by aging bucket, status, customer, or owner to quickly find the invoices that need action, then send reminders, record payments, and track every communication — all from one place.

​
The Invoices table

The table displays your invoices with the columns most relevant for collections prioritization.
ColumnWhat it shows
Invoice numberThe invoice identifier from your accounting system. Click to open the invoice detail page.
CustomerThe customer this invoice belongs to. Click to open the customer detail page.
AR balanceRemaining open balance — the amount still owed on this invoice.
Due dateThe date payment is due. Used to calculate days past due.
Days past dueNumber of days past the due date. Zero for current invoices.
AmountTotal invoice amount (before any payments applied).
Issue dateThe date the invoice was issued in your accounting system.
StatusThe invoice’s lifecycle status (see Invoice status types below).
LabelsTags applied to the invoice for segmentation and filtering.
Last touchWhen your team last communicated about this invoice and who sent or received the message.
Click any column header to sort or filter the table. You can also group invoices by customer using the Group by customer option under Display to see per-customer aggregate balances before expanding into individual invoice rows.

​
Filtering and searching invoices

Use the toolbar above the table to narrow down the list:
  • Search — matches invoice number or customer name.
  • Company type — filter to All Types, Companies, or People.
  • Status — filter by one or more lifecycle statuses (open, overdue, paid, etc.).
  • Aging — filter to a specific overdue window: current, 1-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, or 91+ days past due.
  • Labels — filter by one or more labels applied to invoices.
Multiple filters stack — an invoice must match all active filters to appear in the results.

​
Invoice status types

Daylit calculates each invoice’s status automatically based on its balance, due date, and accounting system data.
StatusMeaning
Open — CurrentBalance is greater than zero and the due date has not yet passed.
Open — OverduePast due with a remaining balance. Shown by aging bucket as 1-30, 31-60, 61-90, or 91+ days past due.
Closed — PaidInvoice has been paid in full.
Closed — OverpaidCustomer paid more than the invoice amount; a refund may be due.
Closed — Credit AppliedInvoice amount is negative, representing a credit to the customer.
Closed — Written OffInvoice balance was written off in your accounting system and is no longer collectible.
Closed — VoidedInvoice was voided in your accounting system.
Status is recalculated in real time based on today’s date. An open invoice can move from Open — Current to Open — Overdue overnight without any manual action.

​
Viewing an invoice’s detail page

Click an invoice number in the table to open its detail page. This is your full-picture view of everything Daylit knows about that invoice. The detail page is organized into tabs:
The AI-recommended next step for this invoice — send an email, make a call, or escalate internally. Includes pre-written email drafts and call scripts you can review, edit, and send.
The full communication thread for this invoice: emails synced from your connected inbox, call notes logged by your team, and AI-generated summaries. Entries are sorted chronologically so you can follow the entire conversation history.
All contacts on file for the customer on this invoice. You can add, edit, or deactivate contacts from this tab.
Supporting documents attached to this invoice — contracts, credit applications, dispute records, and other files your team references during collections.
Reusable content blocks you insert into email drafts from this invoice — invoice lists, balances, payment instructions, and other placeholders defined in Settings → Snippets. See Snippet in Core concepts for how snippets work.
Internal notes logged by your team and a chronological log of invoice activity — label changes, owner assignments, program enrollments, and other updates. Notes are separate from the communication thread and not visible to the customer.
A summary card showing the invoice number, customer, issue date, due date, total amount, remaining balance, labels, and last touch. Also includes any AI signals and the conversation summary currently active on the invoice.
Sending a reminder from Strategy on an invoice detail page sends one email per invoice, not one per customer. If a customer has three selected invoices, they will receive three separate emails. Use collection sequences if you want to send a single consolidated email covering all of a customer’s outstanding invoices.
