Scenario 1: Existing Invoice

  1. Check if there is already a transaction in the invoices section.

  2. Click the isolate icon on the original document to confirm its status.

  3. If the original document is linked to an invoice, proceed to extract the invoice.

  4. After extracting the invoice, mark the duplicated document as done.

  5. This action removes the duplicate from the source documents panel.

Scenario 2: No Existing Invoice

  1. If the original document shows 'create invoice from document', it indicates no invoice exists yet.

  2. Click the isolate icon to confirm the document is not linked to any invoice.

  3. Once confirmed, click 'create invoice from document' to generate the invoice.

  4. After completing the invoice creation, mark both the original and duplicate documents as done.
