  1. Click Jobs & Billing> Accounts Receivable.
  2. Click on the All tab, then select the required receivable.
  3. Click the invoice transaction to edit the transaction.
    • Click anywhere on the transaction row, except the reference link.
    • Clicking the reference link will open the actual invoice.
