Invoice Styles

Learn how to use invoice styles in AroFlo Office

Updated on June 3rd, 2024

Table of Contents

The Invoice Style is found on the Invoice Worksheet. This setting controls how much information is shown on the Invoice Worksheet and what is available to the custom print layout. It is also the format used when the invoice is imported into your accounting package.

We recommend starting off with a Detailed or Lab & Line Item invoice style so that you have the most information available to you on the Worksheet for pricing and/or displaying or restricting based on the invoice print layout.

 

Quoted Work and Part Invoices

  • The style cannot be changed if the task included a quote. This is because items typically appear in the same format on the quote and the invoice.
  • The style only modifies items that were added to the task jobsheet (materials, labor, expenses). It does not have any impact on quoted items that are added to the invoice.
  • Part invoices are displayed in Detailed invoice style only.
