You can change the view into Kanban view also as per your convenience.
The Filters and Group By options in the window can be used to locate and categorize invoices based on the default and customizable options available in the Odoo Invoicing module. In this platform, you can create a new customer invoice by clicking the Create button, or else you can upload the invoice document easily by selecting the Upload button given in the window.
