Invoices

The Invoices module tracks billing records linked to customers and jobs. Each invoice records what was charged, when it was due, and whether it has been paid.

Invoice fields

Field	Description
Invoice number	Your invoice reference number (set manually)
Customer	The customer being invoiced
Job	Optional — the job this invoice relates to
Date issued	The date the invoice was created
Due date	The payment deadline
Total amount	The total invoice value
Status	Draft, Sent, Paid, or Overdue
Notes	Any additional notes

Invoice statuses

Status	Meaning
Draft	Created but not yet sent
Sent	Sent and awaiting payment
Paid	Payment received
Overdue	Due date passed without payment

Time logs

Alongside invoices, the system tracks time logs linked to jobs. A time log records when a technician started and stopped work (start time and end time), allowing total hours to be calculated.

Time logs use actual clock times and are intended for billing-oriented time tracking, as distinct from the work log (which records duration in minutes and work type categories).

Notes

• Invoices are linked to a customer and optionally to a specific job
• Deleting a job does not automatically delete its invoices — the invoice remains but the job link is cleared
• The invoice module is a record-keeping tool; for generating invoice documents, use the document templates in the Customers module
