    The Prefilled amount will be for the:

    - Quoted amount of the work, if a quote was raised against the task (unless the value of the quote was $0.00)

    - Total amount of the task, if the task was not quoted, or if the quote was to the value of $0.00

    - Remaining amount of the above, if part invoices have been raised.

     
     
     
     

    Percentage Remaining

    Raise a calculated line item using the percentage calculator. This is ideal for invoicing a percentage of your quote (such as a deposit) and then invoicing the remaining balance later. See Add items to an Invoice for full instructions.

Once you've sent the invoice to your customer, you can either change the status to Pending Approval or Approved, depending on your workflow. Doing so will mean the task will no longer be visible in your Completed Task list.

More on invoice status.

 
The options that appear are dependent on the information included on your task
 

Final Invoice already created?

If you land on a task using another method (e.g. by tapping a link back to a task) and a final invoice already exists for the task, the Create Invoice button will be replaced by a View Invoice button so you can open the final invoice.

Part invoices are used at the start of a job for deposits or during the course of a job to invoice the client for part of the work undertaken.

To create a part invoice for an open task:

    Both of these areas contain a counter telling you how many invoices are attached to the task.

     
  2. Tap the (green plus button) then tap Part Invoice.
  3. Follow the instructions above from step 3, ensuring you add items to your invoice and send it to your client.
