Worked example

A café lighting job from customer to payment.

Work through the steps in order. The names and job are fictional. Use the practical guides at the end when you need exact settings or exceptions.

1
Customer details

Create the customer and site

Add the customer, then save the work address with a clear name and mark it for site use. Only add a separate billing address if the customer needs documents sent elsewhere.

2
Quote

Prepare a quote

Build a short quote for the work, using saved items where they help. Read it as the customer will see it, then preview the PDF before issuing.

3
Job

Create and link the job

Choose the work type, customer and site, then link the quote you just created. Check everything before saving.

4
Photos

Add Before, During and After photos

Use the groups that make sense for this job. Check each caption and any saved date, time or location. If that information was not captured, InvoQuill leaves it blank.

5
Costs and travel

Record an expense and mileage

Add the expense in the currency you paid and attach the receipt if you have one. Enter a journey yourself or review a recorded trip. For a rate of 45p per mile, enter 0.45.

6
Job report

Choose what to include in the PDF

Use the Recorded Evidence options to choose the sections you need. Set the photo quality, decide whether to show saved coordinates and preview the whole PDF.

7
Invoice

Prepare and issue the invoice

Create a draft from the completed work. Check every line and any online payment link, then preview the PDF. You need InvoQuill Pro to issue it. The final document number stays used even if you later void or delete the invoice.

8
Payment

Check and record the payment

Use your bank or payment provider to confirm the money arrived. If InvoQuill suggests a match from a statement, check the invoice yourself. Record the payment, then create a receipt from the saved payment.
