The form contains a number of fields for editing.

Field	Description
Number	This is the invoice number. SliQ automatically chooses a new invoice number when creating a new invoice but the number can be edited if necessary.
Terms	These are the payment terms for the invoice. When a customer is selected on the invoice, the terms are set to those stored in the customer record. The terms for the invoice can be changed to a different value if desired.
Date	When an invoice is created, this field is set to the current date but the date can be changed if desired.
Our Quote	If the invoice was created from a quote, this field will contain the original quote number. The field value can be edited. If the field is blank, it will not be included on the printed invoice.
