Hello all,
I have been using TO3000 for some time now, and I am very satisfied with it.
However, up to now I never had to create a phantom invoice, therefore I am not very familiar with this feature.
Today I received a payment that was less than the amount invoiced (due to transfer fees, etc.). Therefore I wanted to take advantage of the phantom invoice feature, but it seems that the button is deactivated. I tried to create the phantom invoice from within... See more Hello all,
I have been using TO3000 for some time now, and I am very satisfied with it.
However, up to now I never had to create a phantom invoice, therefore I am not very familiar with this feature.
Today I received a payment that was less than the amount invoiced (due to transfer fees, etc.). Therefore I wanted to take advantage of the phantom invoice feature, but it seems that the button is deactivated. I tried to create the phantom invoice from within the payment window. The button can be found on the "Linked with invoices" tab.
I also found the following hint in the manual and help pages:
Note: Availability of Phantom Invoice and Phantom Payment buttons is controlled by Phantoms page of Settings window
I already tried to change these settings, but no matter what I do, I am not able to get the button activated.
Any suggestions (apart from contacting support)?
TIA,

| How to create a phantom invoice | Aug 5, 2004 |
I had the same problem, and the answer seems to be to go into Settings and set the "limit phantoms by maximum of" to a high number of units. I found that setting the maximum to 10 units did not activate the Phantom button in New Payments, but 1000 units did. But I don't understand why. Perhaps the units are Euro cents?

Hi Sonja,
The help says:
'In Phantoms page of Settings window you can define limit for creating Phantom Payments and Phantom Invoices:
"Limit phantoms by maximum of: /n/ units"
If the remainder of the Payment or Invoice is larger than value specified here, Phantom Payment button in Linked with Payments page of New Invoice or Edit Invoice will be disabled:
Otherwise, it will be enabled.'
Try entering a larger figure for /n/

I can't find any other setting that would enable the button

TOPIC STARTER | Setting to 1000 didn't work | Aug 5, 2004 |
Thank you, Lars and Graciela,
I have already found this setting and tried to change it, but no matter if I enter 0, 1, 5 or 1000, the button is still deactivated.
I assume that the units refer to the number of words, lines, or whatever is used for measurement. In this particular case the invoice is based on a flat fee, and I wonder if that's the problem here.
I have now contacted support. I'll let you know what they say.
Kindly,

Dear all,
just wanted to let you know that I have finally managed to get the thing working.
I have to admit that it was me who was mistaken, not the system.
On creating a new payment, I mistakenly linked the payment with the actual invoice. TO3000 disables the phantom button once a link has been created. I did not fully understand that the phantom option creates a new invoice with the amount paid.
But that left me with the problem that I sti... See more Dear all,

But that left me with the problem that I still had an invoice opened. I have decided not to create a phantom invoice, but a phantom payment. You can do this from the invoice tab, where you simply have to choose the invoice, link it with a payment and add the missing amount as phantom payment.
Thank you all for your kind help.
