For time & materials jobs the invoice is built from what the job actually used — the labour, parts and billable expenses recorded against it. Here's how to compile and check it.
Instructions
- 1Finish recording labour, materials and expenses on the job.
Anything marked billable will be pulled in; mark internal costs as non-billable so they're excluded.
- 2Click Create invoice on the job.
The draft compiles all billable lines with your markups applied.
- 3Review each line.
Group, edit or remove lines and confirm the totals look right before sending.
- 4Set the due date and send.
Email it as a PDF, or Send via Xero if connected.
Additional Information
Machinery metered use (for example plant charged per hour) is included when it's recorded against the job.
You can invoice a long job in stages — bill what's done so far, then invoice the balance later.
