Invoices
What it’s for — an Invoice is the bill you send a customer for work done. Craneye numbers them for you, calculates tax, records payments, and keeps a running total of what’s still outstanding.
When you’d use it — when a job is finished (or at an agreed billing point), to get paid.
The Invoices list
Open Invoices from the sidebar. Each row shows the invoice number, status, the issue and due dates, the total, and the outstanding amount (what’s still unpaid). Outstanding updates automatically as payments land.
How to raise an invoice
-
The quickest way: open the finished Job and click Generate invoice — Craneye pulls in the agreed rates and signed timesheets for you. Or click + New invoice here to build one by hand.
-
Check the line items, tax and dates. Save as Draft while you review.
-
Mark it Sent and share it with the customer.
-
When money arrives, open the invoice and record a payment. The status moves to Partially paid or Paid, and the customer’s outstanding balance drops automatically.
Common questions
- Can I invoice a job in stages? Yes — raise more than one invoice against the same job (for example a mobilisation invoice then a final one).
- A customer overpaid or cancelled — now what? Cancel the invoice (its status becomes Cancelled) or adjust the recorded payments; the outstanding total recalculates.
