Invoices and purchase orders on a game
See every invoice and purchase order made for a game on its Invoices & POs tab, start new ones, and update their status.
Last reviewed October 11, 2026
The Invoices & POs tab keeps the money paperwork of a game in one place: the invoices you sent for it and the purchase orders you placed for prototypes, art or printing. The documents themselves are made in the Invoice & PO Generator tool; this tab lists the ones linked to the game.
What this page helps you do
- See every invoice and purchase order saved for the game.
- Start a new invoice or purchase order with the game already selected.
- Open a document in the generator or change its status.
You'll start from a game's page: click the Invoices & POs tab.
Open the tab
Click Invoices & POs on the game page. The heading reads Invoices & purchase orders, with the note "Invoices and purchase orders created with the Invoice & PO Generator and linked to this game."
Helpful details
- Key areas: the table columns are Type, Number, Client / vendor, Date, Total and Status.
- What you can do: with nothing linked yet you see "No invoices or purchase orders yet" and the two buttons to create one.
- Good to know: a document shows here when you save it in the generator with this game chosen under Linked game. Documents saved without a game stay in the tool only.
Create a new document
Click New invoice or New purchase order. The Invoice & PO Generator opens with the type and this game already chosen. Fill in the parties and lines, then save.
Helpful details
- Key areas: the generator lives under Tools in the sidebar; these buttons are shortcuts that pre-select the game.
- What you can do: invoice a publisher for a licensing advance, or record the purchase order for a prototype run next to the component list it quotes.
- Good to know: the full walkthrough of the generator, including PDF export, is in Invoice & PO Generator.

Click Open on a row to edit the document in the generator. Click the status to Change status.
Helpful details
