Invoice Request

A pre-invoice sent for client approval before the final invoice.

An invoice request is a pre-invoice. You send it for the client to approve the figures before you issue the real invoice, which is useful where a client checks amounts before billing.

On the form

FieldWhat it does
Document dateThe date on the request. Starts at today.
VAT rateThe rate applied to the total. Starts from your financial settings.
PositionsA checklist of the job's positions. Tick the ones to include; a filter box helps you find them.

On the document

The request lists the positions you picked with their prices, then a subtotal, the VAT, and the total, laid out like an invoice but marked as a request rather than a bill.

Once the client approves, generate the actual Invoice, which is what carries your bank details and payment terms.
