Overview

The Invoice Summary of a job shows what work has been performed. To ensure it is filled out, you can make it a required field for specific technicians, job types, and jobs. This allows you and your customers to always have a paper trail of work performed on certain jobs.

Things to know

  • When a job’s invoice summary is required, the technician or office employee can’t close it out until they write something for the summary. 

  • Each job has its own invoice summary requirement that can be enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, a technician or office employee will need to fill out the summary before the job can be marked as complete.

  • Job Summary is a separate field that can be manually filled in by an office employee or automatically added from Job Type settings. It can’t be set as a required field.

  • Appointments can be closed out without the invoice summary if the job hasn’t been completed.
