Invoice Design

Post by nrutland »

since our shop updated to 6.5.49 the invoice design is different. before the invoice design allowed shop to request repairs & summary dialogue of work performed with the total labor cost at the end of the created dialogue. presently the labor amount is placed just to the right of the requested work & not the work that was performed.

Welcome to the Forum!

Could you tell us which Invoice you are using?

Thank you.

According to my files, that report was modified at the 6.5.49 level. I use a different Invoice but my labor amount is in the same place as you describe. It shouldn't belong there?

the display doesn't flow well. the work the customer has requested has the total labor amount instead of the work that was performed.

Here is a clip of the Invoice. Where do you think it should go?

maybe this will help. If we could get the labor rate to post where our work performed was listed instead of work requested

That link opens to a blank page for me.

So you think it should be in one of these two locations?

Sorry the attachment didn't come through. See if this helps:
Customer issue/description of complaint (Customer needs oil change)
Detail list of service perform (changed oil, filter, etc) this is where I feel the labor amount needs to be not the work being requested.

So the second or lower option in my picture is where you want the labor total to be.

I'll be honest. I feel it's right where it should be. That's simply my opinion as a user. We'll let others chime in if they have an opinion too.

I also checked back a few versions and couldn't find that Invoice where it printed the labor anywhere other than where it is right now. Do you know what version you upgraded from?
