These are the documents that have been uploaded to the invoice.  You can view, add, edit, or delete them from this window.  Please remember to make sure your documents are stored on a shared network path that all users will have access to or else they will not be able to view the documents.

You can also add notes manually.  These can be printed from this window as well as reviewed, added, edited, or deleted.  The filter makes it easier to find notes when there are many to look through.

 

FIELD 1-5

These are generic fields that can be used to track additional information, in case there is not already a place for it.  The titles can be changed in Tools > System Maintenance > Variables > Invoice and they can also be marked as required, so a person cannot complete an invoice without entering a value.
