Ready to invoice

Everything you have done and not yet billed, in one list you can read and tick.

One invoice per customer

Tick twelve of somebody’s walks and they get one invoice with twelve lines, not twelve invoices. That is what a customer wants to receive and what you want to chase.

What is not listed

Anything already invoiced, covered by a package, already paid, or with no price. There is nothing to bill on any of them, and listing them would invite somebody to charge twice for the same work.

Everything is checked twice

Once when the list is drawn and again when you press the button, because a page can sit open for an hour and somebody else may have billed those in the meantime. Anything skipped is counted and reported rather than passed over silently.

Example

On the first of the month a walker opens this, sets the date to the last day of last month, glances down twenty-eight walks across nine customers, unticks two she is still discussing, and sends nine invoices in one press.

FAQ

Why is a customer missing?
Nothing of theirs is waiting: either it is already invoiced, covered by their package, paid at the time, or priced at nothing.

Can I bill just part of a month?
Yes — set the date and it lists only work up to and including that day.

What if I do not want to email them yet?
Untick the email box. The invoices are raised and left unsent, and you can send them from the invoice screen whenever you like.

Does this replace automatic invoicing?
No. If you have auto-invoicing switched on it still runs on its schedule. This is for looking first, which most people prefer at month end.
