Orb is designed to remove manual toil from the invoicing process while still giving you the ability to make manual adjustments when needed. To better support this, we've added the option to manually issue invoices in the webapp or API rather than having Orb issue them automatically.

When manual invoice review is turned on, invoices that have passed their grace period will appear as "Action needed", indicating that they can be manually issued. These invoices can be edited and won't be sent to customers until manually issued.

Manual invoice review can make it easier to get started with Orb Invoicing, allowing you to validate that invoices are correct before sending them to customers, and unlocking enterprise workflows that require manually reviewing and adjusting invoices for customers each billing period.
