Understanding invoice statuses
The statuses, in order
Section titled “The statuses, in order”| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | The invoice exists on your side. The client has not received it. |
| Sent | The client has it and has not responded. |
| Accepted | The client approves the amount — without the money having arrived. |
| Rejected | The client disputes the invoice. |
| Paid - Unverified | Payment is assumed, not confirmed by you. |
| Paid | You have confirmed the money arrived. |
Accepted is not paid
Section titled “Accepted is not paid”This is the most important distinction, and the source of most questions.
On Tayo, a property manager can accept your invoice. That means they approve the amount — not that they made the transfer. Which is why an accepted invoice stays awaiting payment until you confirm you received the money.
Moving automatically from Accepted to Paid - Unverified is an optional module: see Automatically marking an accepted invoice as paid.
Why the counter differs from the number of projects
Section titled “Why the counter differs from the number of projects”The “awaiting payment” figure counts only invoices in Sent and Accepted — actually sent, not yet collected.
The project status “awaiting payment” reflects overall progress and can include:
- projects coming from external property managers;
- manual status adjustments;
- projects with several invoices;
- projects whose invoice has not synced yet.
That is normal, not a fault.
