From completed order to invoice: the whole flow
Follow one order all the way, from the driver getting it to it being on an invoice and in the accounts.
Goals and why
What you will learn
- which steps an order must go through before it can be invoiced
- how to find orders that have stalled, using the two invoice reports
- how the customer card decides which orders end up on the same invoice
- how the invoice reaches accounting, as a file or through an API connection
How to get there
- Click Invoice in the top menu.
- Choose Generate to run the invoicing.
- The reports on orders ready or not ready to invoice are under Reports, in the Orders group.
- If you don't see the menu item, you are missing access or the module. Ask your administrator.
An order doesn't turn into money by itself. It must be assigned, driven, priced and set to Ready to invoice, the switch that says the order can be invoiced. If the order stops at one of the steps, it is left behind without anyone noticing. Then the customer doesn't get the invoice, and the revenue is missing from the accounts.
Here you see the whole chain at once. Each step also has its own lesson: Pricing orders in practice, Generate invoices and The transfer to accounting.

The flow shows each step with screenshots. It follows order 100102 for ICE Butikken. One step shows another order, because 100102 skipped it. Click a part of the image to see what it is used for.

All correct completes the lesson- The flow follows order 100102 (ICE Butikken, Driver 3, accepted and completed 24-09-2026, priced from a product). The "no price" branch shows 100067 (BROS INTERACTIVE AS), because 100102 never lacked a price. Never generate the ICE Butikken invoice in the test tenant, or the combined invoice disappears from the flow.
- Common support case: "the order isn't included in the invoice run". Check in order: is the order sent to a resource (a plan alone is not enough), are all stops completed, does it have a price, is Ready to invoice Yes, is To OrderDate after the order date, and are the right invoice group and payment method selected.
- Grouping is per order payer, then in this order: Invoice alone on the order, Group invoice on project, Group invoice on ref. With the invoice designer or currency module, invoices are also split by invoice layout and currency. With Visma Business NXT, invoices go through the export page with Send to Visma Business NXT, even though the format is an integration.
