    Invoices

    Core Workflow

    Track billing, payment status, and revenue events connected to deals and accounts.

    What Are Invoices?

    Invoices capture billing events tied to your commercial relationships. They track amounts, due dates, payment status, and collection context in one place.

    Invoices bridge CRM execution and revenue operations by connecting deal outcomes to real payment behavior.

    Keep invoice status current to maintain accurate account health and forecasting context.

    How Invoices Are Used in Lumenbase

    Account management

    • Payment behavior informs account risk and renewal confidence.
    • Outstanding invoices highlight relationship friction points.
    • Invoice history supports expansion and contract discussions.

    Revenue operations

    • Tracks realized revenue alongside pipeline assumptions.
    • Supports handoff from closed-won to post-sale operations.
    • Improves reporting on expected vs collected revenue.

    Invoice Workflow

    1. Create invoice from the relevant account/deal context.
    2. Confirm amount, due date, and recipient details.
    3. Send and track status progression through payment lifecycle.
    4. Update status immediately when payment events occur.
    5. Escalate overdue items with follow-up tasks and notes.
    If invoice status is stale, Lumo and account health insights become less reliable.
