What is an order summary, and what does "Needs invoice" mean?
Some suppliers email an order or payment summary rather than a full VAT invoice. TruDues records the cost in the Needs invoice tab on the Costs page, and it can't be sent until the full VAT invoice is attached: download the full invoice from the supplier's website and use Attach invoice on its row, and its figures replace the summary's. If the full invoice arrives by email later, TruDues swaps it in for you and records it in the cost's History, where Not the same order? puts the order summary back; a business that isn't VAT registered isn't held back, and just sees that a full invoice is recommended.
