3.Go to the Reports tab, and ensure you have the selected the correct invoice report. This may be set to <Use Default>, so it's best to check what you have set in Tools > Options > Job > Invoice. Jim2 determines which invoice format to use first via the customer card file, and if it is set to <Use Default>, it will then fall back to what you have selected in Options.

The job list can be used to group jobs belonging to one or several customers, and produce one invoice per customer containing many jobs.

This is particularly useful if:

You process high volumes of jobs for those customers and don't want to have to produce individual invoices for each job – you'd rather produce one invoice containing all their finished jobs.

You need to invoice jobs containing a specific Cust Ref# or Item# together so all jobs can be included on the one invoice.

 

Info

If you wish to print physical copies of invoices, you need to enable Print Invoice after invoicing a job in Tools > Options > Job > Invoice.

 

Email will send invoice and print 1 copy if Printer 2 is set up to print 1. If not, Email will send only.

 

Invoice Multiple Jobs

1.To invoice multiple jobs for one customer (or several customers), create a list. To filter your search for a single customer – enter the customer's code in the Cust# field, choose any other relevant search criteria that meets your invoice requirement (for example, Cust Ref#) and untick the Active and Finish boxes in the job list, leaving Ready ticked. For multiple customers, simply untick the Active and Finish boxes in the job list, choose any other relevant search criteria, but leave the Cust# field blank.

2.The job list can help you filter jobs that meet the above criteria. Choose the search fields that meet that need.
