View the invoice from the “Sales Invoices” page, then click on “New Receipt.” The resulting document (once you’ve entered received payment) will have the word “Receipt” as its title. ---

It is important to understand you cannot just change an invoice to a receipt. Those are two different accounting transactions. ---

Manager is fully translated to Greek, also. Change the language, under Preferences, to Greek. Then you will have the documents in Greek. ---

An invoice and a receipt are two completely different accounting documents and you should not replace one by the other. An invoice recognises a sale to a customer and a receipt acknowledges the payment What exactly are you trying to achieve? ---

It sounds like @than96 just wants to change the title. We do this for our clients that are on auto-pay because we cannot have recurring receipts and we are not going to manually enter a receipt detailing their monthly service every month. Plus when a card fails, we simply change the theme back to “Invoice” and now we can send it. We just have two themes one says AutoPay Receipt and one says invoice, we manually post auto-pay payments on the first of the month. Check the custom title box then you can enter whatever title you desire. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/9/c/9cf4a9b3e0195def7bcd414614ae853a7e28c4a7.jpeg) ---
