Invoices and payments

Work you have finished and not billedNew

The jobs that are done and never got invoiced — and the deposit ones that look invoiced and are not.

A busy week makes these by itself. The engineer closes the job on Friday, nobody raises the invoice, and because the job reads Completed it drops off every list you look at. It is never late, because it was never sent. The To invoice tab on the Jobs page is where that work goes, and you can ask Task Taylor the same question in words.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Go to Jobs and pick the To invoice tab.

  2. 2

    Read the number on the tab.

    That is how many finished jobs have not been billed. Oldest first, because the one sitting longest is the one to chase.

  3. 3

    Open a job and raise the invoice from it.

    The lines, the prices and the VAT come across from the job.

  4. 4

    Or ask Task Taylor “what have I not invoiced?”

    It gives you the total, the oldest few by name, and a link straight to the list.

Worth knowing

A deposit is not the job

If you took a deposit against a quote, an invoice already exists — so anything that just asks “has this been invoiced” says yes, while most of the money has never been asked for. Those jobs stay on this list, marked “deposit taken, balance not raised”, until the balance goes out.

A draft is not a bill

An invoice you built and never sent is money nobody has been asked for. It is shown separately from a job with nothing at all, because the fix is one press rather than a build.

What it will not put a figure on, it says so

A job with no price and no quote behind it cannot be valued here, and a job billed by the day is priced from the diary rather than from a figure on the job. Both are listed and counted, and neither is quietly added in as nothing — a total that understates itself is worse than one with a caveat beside it.

A credited invoice is not on this list

That work was invoiced and the customer holds a copy; somebody then decided nothing was owed. Putting it back here would be second-guessing that decision. A voided invoice is the opposite — it should never have existed — so its job does come back.
