Your first invoice
An invoice needs four things: who it is for, what was done, what it costs and when it is due. chronoskin remembers the first and the last.
Add the client
Type a name. If you have billed them before, their address, currency and usual terms appear; if not, fill in the address and choose terms of 14 or 30 days.
Add the lines
Each line is a description, a quantity and a rate. Hours from a running timer can be dropped in as a line.
Numbering
Invoices are numbered in order, starting from INV-0001. To carry on from an older system, set the next number in Settings before you send anything.
Before you send
- Check the due date: it is counted from today, not from the job.
- Choose a reminder tone, or switch reminders off for this client.
- Preview the invoice as your client will see it.
