--- ## Best Practices and Considerations - **Targeted Reporting:** When exporting data to Excel for revenue tracking, **always specify a clear "Billed On" date range** to ensure the generated report is accurate and focused on the desired financial period. - **Managing Invoices:** From the search results, you can locate invoices that need to be re-issued or voided. If you discover an invoice with errors, you must use the search page to locate it before you can proceed with *Cancelling an Invoice*. - **Auditing:** Regularly use the "Paid Status" and "Cancelled Status" filters to audit outstanding balances and ensure that your financial records are up to date.
