Understanding invoice statuses

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.

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.
