Get invoice
One sales invoice with lines, tax, payments applied and activity history.
MCP tool myob_read → get_invoice
read
Returns one invoice with every line, the tax, the balance due and the payments already applied. The activity history shows whether it was emailed and when the customer opened the email. Read it before record_invoice_payment so a short payment is not mistaken for a full one.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| invoice_number string required | string | Invoice number from list_invoices or create_invoice. |
