Creating an Invoice
Invoices help you request payment from customers while keeping billing information connected to your work.
Invoices can be created either from an existing quote or job, or as a standalone invoice.
Creating an Invoice From a Quote or Job
Invoices can be created directly from existing quotes and jobs.
Creating invoices this way helps keep customer information, pricing and work history connected throughout the workflow.
Depending on the stage of the work, you can create:
Deposit invoices
Progress invoices
Final invoices
FieldHive automatically tracks previously invoiced amounts and remaining balances, helping reduce duplicate data entry and improve billing accuracy.
Creating a Standalone Invoice
Invoices can also be created directly from the Invoices section.
This is useful when you need to invoice work that is not linked to an existing quote or job.
When creating a standalone invoice, you can add:
Customer information
Job details
Descriptions
Materials
Labour
Services
Pricing
Items can be added manually or selected from your catalogue.
Using the Catalogue
Catalogue items can be added directly to invoices, helping speed up invoice creation and maintain consistent pricing.
Materials, labour and services can all be reused from your catalogue rather than entered manually each time.
Invoice Information
Invoices can contain information such as:
Customer details
Invoice number
Job information
Materials and labour
Totals and taxes
Payment information
This helps provide customers with a clear breakdown of charges.
AI Rewrite
Invoice descriptions can be improved using AI Rewrite where enabled.
This can help create clearer and more professional customer-facing descriptions.
Reviewing an Invoice
Before sending an invoice, it is worth reviewing all information to ensure customer details, descriptions and pricing are correct.
Accurate invoices help reduce payment queries and create a more professional customer experience.
Sending an Invoice
Once complete, invoices can be prepared and sent to the customer.
FieldHive supports different invoice formats, allowing you to choose how much detail is shown before sending.
Connected Workflows
Invoices remain connected to customers and, where applicable, linked quotes and jobs.
This helps create a complete history of work, pricing and payments while reducing duplicated administration.
