  • Click the "Clear & New" button to clear the template so that it is ready for your next new invoice.
  • Fill invoice date automatically (optional).
  • Automatic invoice numbering (optional).

Invoice Manager (Lite) saves all the setting values to the Excel template itself. This means:

  • each template could have its own settings that differ from the settings of other templates, including the automated invoice numbering.
  • if a template is opened with Excel for Windows desktop, you have to save the template in order to persist the settings; If a template is opened with Excel for Office 365, by default the workbook file is saved automatically unless you turn "Auto Save" off.

All the templates here on InvoicingTemplate.com work with Invoice Manager (Lite). If you are looking for a template designed specifically for Invoice Manager (Lite), i.e. have all the buttons and reports removed, download the "All Formats" packages on the template pages.
