Before you beginThis guide follows the supplied Britixo Appointments & Scheduling module version 1.3.6. The relevant access is Appointments access and Invoices: Create. A menu, button, provider, time slot or client action can remain hidden when the signed-in user lacks the required permission, the module setting is disabled, the related record is in an ineligible state, or availability validation rejects the request.

What this feature does

Create a Britixo CRM invoice manually from a supported customer appointment and retain the link on the appointment record. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

The conversion action requires CRM invoice Create permission in addition to appointment access.

The appointment must have the customer/contact context required by the module; service and appointment data are used to prepare invoice content.

After successful invoice creation, the returned invoice ID is stored against the appointment to prevent duplicate conversion.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the eligible appointment.
  2. Confirm customer/contact, service, price and tax context.
  3. Select Convert to invoice.
  4. Review and save the invoice data.
  5. Verify the invoice link on both records.

Important fields and decisions

Invoice Create permissionRequired CRM sales permission.
Customer/contactBilling relationship from the appointment.
Line description/amountPrepared from appointment and service data.
Invoice IDStored backlink preventing repeated conversion.

What happens after completion

After this workflow completes, Britixo keeps the appointment and its supported relationships connected. Reopen the appointment and verify the saved status, date, timezone, customer or lead, service, provider, attendees, reminder state, calendar or meeting reference, invoice reference and history that apply to this feature. External email, SMS, Google, Microsoft or payment outcomes must be checked separately from the Britixo database save.

  • Open the saved appointment and confirm the final status and source.
  • Check the participant, provider, timing and timezone from the full detail page.
  • Review the relevant table filter, calendar, history, report or linked invoice instead of relying only on a success message.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not convert a staff-only or unsupported lead appointment.
  • Check for an existing invoice reference first.
  • Review the generated invoice before sending it.
  • Use the least destructive correction and retain the appointment history when the booking existed operationally.
  • Never bypass a permission, availability, approval, client-access or verification control by changing an unrelated route or setting.
Scheduling and data safetyAppointment changes can notify customers, reserve provider time, update remote calendars, create meeting links or invoices and alter reports. Confirm the exact record, timezone, status and recipients before saving.
