Meters and invoices of a contract

The Meters & invoices tab lists the electricity, water and other meters of the contract and the invoices recorded for them. Meters are added and edited here; invoices can be added here or from Contracts › Meter invoices.

Open the contract and click the Meters & invoices tab.
