Invoicing a project in Current RMS is very similar to invoicing an opportunity, but you have the choice of which opportunity on the project to invoice for.
What is a project?
Projects are a way to group together multiple opportunities in Current RMS, a bit like a folder. When opportunities are in a project, you can generate project documents that display information about all opportunities within that project. This means your customer receives one contiguous document, but internally you can manage each opportunity separately.

Turn project invoicing on or off
When creating or editing a project, toggle the Project Invoicing slider to YES to turn on project invoicing. You’ll see options to specify the billing address for the project and tax class.
⚠️ When enabling project invoicing on an existing project, tax will be recalculated on any opportunities with a status of open or active within the project. Current RMS will notify you if this results in a change to any of the opportunities.
Invoice with project invoicing enabled
Head to your project page and click Invoice Project under Actions. You’ll see the project invoice screen.
Opportunities
Tick the opportunities you wish to include on your invoice. Only opportunities at order stage that are not marked as invoiced show here.
Grouping options
Use the “Group invoice items by” options to choose how detailed you’d like your invoice to be.

Create
When you’re done, click the blue Create button to generate your invoice. At this point, Current will mark all of the opportunities you selected as invoiced.
On your invoice page, you’ll see all opportunities linked to this invoice under Invoice Sources in the details pane on the right hand side.
Invoice with project invoicing disabled
The process for creating an invoice with project invoicing disable is the same as above, with a few differences:
There’s no option to specify a billing address or tax class on a project with project invoicing off.
The opportunities you choose to invoice must have the same organization, billing address, and tax class against them.
The invoice is created using the details from the first opportunity, e.g. the subject, reference, organization, store, tax class, billing address, and delivery address.
Additional considerations
In addition to having the same organization, billing address, and tax class, there are additional considerations depending on how your tax calculation is configured in System Preferences:
Tax calculation based on delivery origin
Opportunities must be for the same store or the stores must have addresses that would result in the same tax rates being used.Tax calculation based on delivery address
Opportunities must have the same delivery address or delivery addresses that would result in the same tax rates being used, e.g. depending on how you have your tax rules set up, they might need to be in the same state when there are different tax rates for those states.
