Additional needs on the Invoice

From time to time additional things may be needed on the invoice such as time and/or materials. In order to add those, the steps above are mostly the same except before completing the invoice.

You may have noticed the icon called EQUIPMENT. This is a list of Equipment/Fixtures/Systems/Cabinets/… or simply different locations/rooms a customer may have at this site. When add working with Parts or Labor at least one EQUIPMENT item must typically exist.

    • Location (OPTIONAL) is sometimes helpful as well if there are more than one of that type of equipment in different areas of the building
    • If this equipment you installed it can also be useful to fill in an Install Date and check the ACTUAL INSTALL DATE as opposed to a guess to the age of the system
