What you're seeing
A customer paid a single amount that covers several invoices, and you want to give them one document confirming that payment. ServiceTitan does not produce a separate, standalone payment receipt document, so there's no obvious single button to hand the customer one confirmation. This affects any situation where one payment spans multiple invoices.
Why this happens
There are 2 common reasons.
Reason 1
ServiceTitan does not generate a standalone payment-received document.
Proof of payment comes from a paid invoice showing a zero balance, not a separate receipt.
Reason 2
Two paths produce a single confirmation.
A consolidated invoice works when all invoices share the same Bill-To customer. A temporary adjustment invoice works when they don't, or when a consolidated invoice won't work.
Before you start
You need Accounting access to consolidate invoices and collect payments.
Consolidated invoices require account configuration. If it's not enabled, contact Technical Support.
For the adjustment-invoice workaround, the task you add must be non-membership and non-taxable.
How to fix it
Run these checks in order. Most issues are resolved by Check 1.
1Collect one payment on a consolidated invoice
Use this when all the invoices share the same Bill-To customer. This is the recommended approach.
Go to the navigation bar and click Accounting > Invoices.
Select the open invoices you want to combine. All must share the same Bill-To customer.
Click Actions > Consolidate Invoices, review the details, and click Save.
Open the consolidated invoice and click Collect Payment.
On the Collect and Apply Payments screen, apply the payment. You can set how much applies to each underlying invoice.
Click Save.
Print or email the consolidated invoice as proof of payment.
✓ Done · Once paid, the consolidated invoice shows a zero balance and serves as the customer's single confirmation. You're done.
2If Check 1 won't work, use a temporary adjustment invoice
Use this when the invoices don't all share the same Bill-To customer, one already belongs to another consolidated invoice, or you need a standalone confirmation document.
Go to one of the invoices that received the payment.
Create an adjustment invoice for that invoice.
Add a non-membership, non-taxable task, and set the task amount to match the total payment received.
Add a description explaining why the payment was made.
Add a payment to the adjustment invoice, matching the payment amount to the task amount.
Send the adjustment invoice to the customer as payment confirmation.
After sending, delete the task and delete the payment from the adjustment invoice.
✓ Done · The customer receives one document confirming the full payment, and the temporary task and payment are removed so balances stay accurate.
