This feature allows you to count invoices depending upon conditions that you set.  For instance, you can count how many invoices have been issued to a certain customer or you can count the number of unpaid invoices.  This feature is reached by selecting INVOICE TOOLS and COUNT INVOICES from the Menu Bar.

When you select COUNT INVOICES, a dialog box appears.  This dialog box is much the same as the Filter dialog box.  In the long blank at the top of the screen, you enter a counting formula.

Common Counting Formulas. To aid you in constructing a counting formula, a number of common options are listed at the bottom of the dialog box.  By clicking on the plus sign (+) next to the desired option, the counting formula will be automatically inserted for you.

On the list of common counting formulas, whenever you see the word "Current" used (i.e. " Current Customer," "Current Payment1 Year," etc) it means that the customer's name or payment year or other information will be taken from the invoice currently showing on the Invoice Screen.

For instance, if you need to count only Baker and Taylor invoices, page up or down to a Baker and Taylor invoice.  That becomes your current invoice.  Bring up the Count Invoices dialog box, then click on the "+" beside "Current Customer."  The counting formula for Baker and Taylor will automatically be inserted.  When you click on OK, only Baker and Taylor invoices will be counted.

Making Your Own Formula. You aren't limited to the list of common counting formulas at the bottom of the dialog box.  Many others are possible by constructing your own counting statements and entering them in the blank.  More information on how to do this is found under Filter Invoices.

Voided Invoices, Clearing Formulas, and Counting All Invoices. Normally, AnyOrder will not count any voided invoice.  However, if for some reason, you wish to include voided invoices, remove the checkmark from "Check here to removed voided invoices from the count."

To clear a formula from the blank, click on "Clear Formula."  If you wish to get a count of all the invoices you have issued, click on "All Invoices."

Saving & Re-calling Count Formulas. You can save and recall count formulas using the same method that you save and recall filters.  For more information see Filter Invoices.
