Preparation guide
Example workflow
Confirm scope and quantities
Example: reconcile the approval and work record for "Replace torsion springs, pair" to establish the quantity for this invoice.
Record delivery and acceptance
Check completion for every line, including "Lubricate rollers, hinges and track". Deliver the service record, materials used, unresolved issues and the agreed next visit date.
Send the billing record
Send the final charges, delivery reference and due date to the customer, then reconcile payment against the invoice number.
When a garage door spring breaks, the door becomes too heavy to lift and the customer calls the same day. This invoice covers that visit and the service that usually goes with it. Springs are priced as a pair, the opener and its safety sensors have their own line, remote handsets are counted, and lubrication of rollers and track is listed so the customer sees what was done to the parts they cannot see. A note of the safety reverse test closes the job.
Fields to prepare
- Deliverables and line items
- Replace torsion springs, pair, Opener service and safety sensor alignment, New remote handset, programmed, Lubricate rollers, hinges and track: record the quantities actually supplied and the service period.
- Replace torsion springs, pair
- Give the spring size or the door weight it is rated for, and say why both springs were replaced when only one broke.
- Opener service and safety sensor alignment
- Note the opener model and that the sensors were aligned and the door reversed when the beam was blocked.
- New remote handset, programmed
- Count the handsets, say they were programmed and tested, and whether old ones were removed from the opener’s memory.
- Lubricate rollers, hinges and track
- Lubrication is quick but visible on the invoice; name what was treated so the next service can compare.
- Assets and visits
- Record the asset or area, visit dates, visit count and access arrangements.
- Labor and materials used
- Separate labor hours, quantities of parts or consumables, and work outside the recurring scope.
- Scope to agree
- Give the door type and size and the spring specification, record the safety reverse test after the work, and list remotes by how many were programmed.

Frequently asked questions
Why replace both springs when only one broke?
Many technicians do, because both springs have done the same number of cycles. If you did, say so on the invoice so the customer does not think one was replaced without need.
What do I write about the safety reverse test?
That the door reversed when it met an obstruction or when the sensor beam was blocked, with the date. If it failed, say the door was left out of automatic use and why.
How is the sales tax worked out on this invoice?
The worked example above uses an example rate of 8%: $28.00 on a net amount of $350.00, for a total of $378.00. The editor recalculates all three when you change a quantity, a price or the country.
Can I use it in another language or currency?
Yes. The document language can be set to any of 33 languages, and changing the country setting updates the currency, the date format and the tax rate.
Can I change the layout and colour?
Yes. The editor offers other layouts and a document colour for the printed page. Changing them moves no figure: the lines and totals stay as they are, and the PDF, Word and Excel files follow the layout you pick.
