Hi buiphung, Finance permission is set to parents only . If you want to show invoices to parents , You should change Permission for Students from Admin …\> User Admin …\> Manage Permissions Cheers. ---

I think you haven’t issued invoices yet. So when the status of invoices issued it will show up on student’s dashboard. ---

Thank ghulamabbas92 for your reply. Invoice was paid and it showed up on parent’s dashboard. But it doesn’t show on student’s dashboard. I really don’t know why. It is so strange ![](https://ask.gibbonedu.org/uploads/editor/4x/z0f0anjru25k.png) ---

Something I just found out. I checked Gibbon v17 and it works just fine there. ---

Ok, here we are: File: modules/Finance/invoices\_view.php Line: ca. 113 Change the following: //if (!empty($gibbonPersonID) and count($options) \> 0) { if ($gibbonPersonID != ‘’ and $count \> 0) { Please check it out and report back. ---

Well spotted, this is indeed a bug. Thanks for the quick fix Roman! However, you may find an unintended side-effect is that this enables student access to work but breaks the parent access 😅 But your fix was very close! I tweaked the script a couple lines up and committed it to v20 here, which you can apply back to v19: [https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/commit/b65fbf9ca8e9d37ba788386170f8c07af5527b0e](https://github.com/GibbonEdu/core/commit/b65fbf9ca8e9d37ba788386170f8c07af5527b0e) ---
