How to create an invoice with pre-filled order data
🚀 Benefits of the “Create from Order” Method?
Previously, clicking “+ New Invoice” required you to manually enter everything — often taking 3–5 minutes per invoice.
With the new method, you can:
-
✅ Generate a pre-filled invoice from order data
-
✅ Make edits as needed before saving
-
✅ Finish in as little as 10 seconds
This is perfect for cases where:
-
A carrier hasn’t sent an invoice, but you still want to process payment
-
You’re ready to approve an invoice before it arrives (e.g., clean loads with no exceptions)
- You've received supporting documents with no Invoice and need to attach them to an Order manually

🪜 Follow-Along Instructions
Here’s a quick reference for creating an invoice from an order:
-
Find the Unmatched Order you’d like to invoice
-
Click “Create Invoice”
- Select which vendor in the case of multiple vendors
-
Navix will auto-fill the invoice with:
- Customer
- Vendor
- Shipment #
- Order #
- Origin
- Destination
- Bill To/Remit To
- Line items
- AP Charges
- Manually enter the Invoice # and confirm Invoice Date (auto-fills with today's date)
- Review and make any necessary changes
- Click Finish to create the invoice
- Navigate to the Invoice in the Audit Queue
- If desired, upload supporting documents or Generate an Invoice document
That’s it — you’ve created an invoice in seconds using verified order data.
⚠️ When to Use the Old Method (+New Invoice)
There are a few cases where you’ll still need to create an invoice manually:
Scenario | Use “+New Invoice”? |
---|---|
You’ve already received an invoice for this Order | ✅ Yes |
It’s a multi-vendor Order, and one or more vendors has already invoiced | ✅ Yes |
You’re creating the first invoice for an Order | ❌ Use “Create from Order” |
If you're not sure which method to use, start with “Create from Order” — the button will not be available if it’s not applicable.
