Final invoices are those with fixed invoice numbers. They signify completed billing periods with charges that have been finalised.
Users can preview and download these invoices for record-keeping and review purposes.
In cases where no chargeable items occur during a billing period, an Empty invoice is generated.

The Void status signifies an invalidated invoice, indicating no expected payment. It’s commonly applied to invoices with errors or those mistakenly issued, removing them from revenue and accounts receivable records. Despite being voided, these invoices are kept for audit purposes in the invoice listings.
