Project Invoicing
The Project Invoicing module allows you to invoice charges to a job according to variable criteria, allowing fast, flexible and simple invoice creation for customer projects or jobs. The module can help with speeding up accurate and professional invoicing procedures, allowing the business to free-up valuable time resources and provide confidence in invoicing accuracy. The module simplifies this procedure by using a step-by-step wizard which requests relevant variable criteria before creating the invoice.
The Project Invoicing wizard requests variable criteria, such as:
- Where do the charges come from?
|
- What filters will be used, such as date range, transaction types and cost centres?
|
- How will the invoice be structured, with transaction sorting and display options?
|
- Varifying charges to be included, changed, or comments added.
|
- Finalising invoice options such as retention amount, printing options and processing options.
