If you would rather send\nthem one, you can merge the drafts into a single invoice before any of them go\nout.\n\nOnly drafts can be merged. Once an invoice has been released to the vendor it\nstands on its own.\n\n## Check what is still a draft\n\nIn **Scheduler**, a booking with an invoice waiting to go out shows a clock in\nthe corner of its cell. Right-click the cell and choose **View Invoice** to see\nthe draft, including the date it is due to be released.\n\n## Merge the drafts\n\n1. In **Scheduler**, select the vendor.\n2. Click **Release** in the top right. This opens the invoice release window\n   for that vendor.\n3. Under **Method**, choose **Single merged invoice for selected terms**.\n4. Tick every invoice you want combined.\n5. Click **Release**, or **Release + Payment** to collect the money now. If\n   the vendor has Auto Pay turned on, that button reads **Release + Auto\n   Pay** instead, and charges their card on file.\n\nEach of those bookings now points at the same invoice, so the vendor sees one\nbill instead of several.\n\n!!! important \"Merging releases the invoice\"\n    The drafts were waiting for their release dates. Merging sends the combined\n    invoice now, so only merge when you are ready for the vendor to get it."}
