Credit Invoice not Visually Distinct

Open sbts opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Currently the only visual difference between a Sales Invoice and a Sales Credit Invoice is the wording of the Heading.

  • Sales Invoice
  • Credit Invoice

There is absolutely no other difference between the two pages. This is most noticeable if you have just used the VOID button on a Sales Invoice You are returned to a screen that is IDENTICAL except for the title, which is very easily missed.

The user then thinks they have not actually generated a void invoice as the QTY's and $ are exactly the same as the original invoice.

It may also be worth considering displaying Negative values for

  • QTY's
  • Line Totals
  • Subtotal
  • Taxes
  • Total

You would continue to show positive values for unit price though

Not sure how to make that accessible for the colorblind...
