INVOICES - Create custom views on invoices & credit notes

Create, save, and switch between custom views on invoice and credit note tabs — with saved filters and column settings — just like order views.

Introduction

  • What is this feature?

    • Custom views are now available on the Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices, Credit Notes, and Purchase Credit Notes tabs. These views allow filters and column settings to be saved and reused, functioning the same way as the existing custom views on the Orders tab.

  • Why was it introduced?

    • With no way to save filter configurations on invoice or credit note screens; accounting and admin teams had to manually re-apply filters each time the page was opened — for example, filtering by "Paid" or "Unpaid" status. This feature eliminates that repetitive step and streamlines daily invoice management workflows.

  • How does it work?

    • Custom views can be created, saved, and switched between on each invoice and credit note tab. Filters, column visibility, and column ordering are all preserved within each view. Views can also be shared with other users, when shared by a Superadmin user.

    • A new "filter by status" column filter has also been added to the Sales and Purchase invoice tabs.


Terminology

Term

Definition

Custom View

A saved combination of filters and column settings on a list tab, allowing quick access to a specific data configuration

Sales Invoice

An invoice issued to a customer for services or goods delivered

Purchase Invoice

An invoice received from a supplier or subcontractor for costs incurred

Credit Note

A document issued to adjust or correct a previously issued sales invoice

Purchase Credit Note

A document received from a supplier to adjust or correct a previously issued purchase invoice

Column Settings

The configuration of which columns are visible and in what order they appear in a list view


Available Tabs with Custom Views

Custom views are supported on four separate tabs within the invoicing section:

  1. Sales Invoices — manage views for outgoing invoices

  2. Purchase Invoices — manage views for incoming supplier invoices

  3. Credit Notes — manage views for sales credit adjustments

  4. Purchase Credit Notes — manage views for purchase credit adjustments

Each tab maintains its own independent set of views. Invoice views are not shared with purchase invoice views, and credit note views are not shared with purchase credit note views.


Creating a Custom View

Step 1: Apply Filters and Column Settings

  1. NAVIGATE to the desired invoice or credit note tab.

  2. APPLY the desired filters using the column filter options. For example, filter the Sales Invoices tab by a specific status such as "Paid" or "Unpaid."

  3. ADJUST column visibility and ordering as needed by configuring the column settings.

Step 2: Save the View

  1. ENTER a descriptive name for the view (e.g., "Unpaid Invoices" or "Q1 Purchase Invoices").

  2. CLICK the save view option to store the current filter and column configuration.

The new view will now appear in the views dropdown and can be accessed at any time.

Step 3: Switch Between Views

  1. OPEN the views selector at the top of the invoice or credit note list.

  2. SELECT the desired saved view from the dropdown.

  3. The list will immediately update to reflect the saved filters and column settings.


Sharing Views (SuperAdmin users only)

Custom views can be shared with other users. When a view is shared, both the filter configuration and the column ordering and visibility settings are included. This makes it easy for teams to work from a consistent data layout without each user needing to configure their own filters.

🧰 Only super admin users can share (or manage) shared/custom saved list views. Regular users can still create personal views, but they cannot share them workspace-wide.


Filter by Status on Credit notes

A new filter by status column filter has been added to the Sales and Purchase credit note tabs.

This filter was previously unavailable on these tabs and allows records to be narrowed down by their current status directly from the column header.


Troubleshooting

Issue

Solution

A saved view does not appear on a different tab

Views are tab-specific. Invoice views only appear on the invoices tab, not on purchase invoices or credit notes. Verify the correct tab is selected.

Filters reset after navigating away

Ensure the view has been explicitly saved. Unsaved filter configurations will not persist between sessions.

"Filter by status" is not visible on credit notes

Refresh the page to load the latest update. If the issue persists, contact Qargo support for further assistance.

A shared view does not reflect expected columns

Column settings are included when sharing, but any subsequent changes by the original creator may not auto-update for other users. Re-share the view if column settings have changed.
