Billing and GST Invoices for Signage Jobs
Each invoice is built from the job’s quoted lines and any variation noted during fabrication. Advances received are adjusted, and an invoice can be held until the installed photo and sign-off are on the job.
What goes on the invoice
Holding the invoice for the photo
A client with many stores may pay only against installed boards, and that client’s invoice is raised store by store. For such a client the invoice waits until the photo and sign-off are on the job. A list of held invoices shows which crews still owe a picture.
GST and the accountant
Invoices carry GST. The layout is one an accountant can work from. Which rate applies to a board, and how a fabricated sign with installation is treated on one invoice, is for the accountant to decide. Nothing here is fixed in advance. A Tally export can be set up and is confirmed during scoping.
What billing does not do
Billing records what was sold and received. It does not chase payments by itself, and it does not set credit terms for any client. Reminders go out when the office sends them, and credit limits are the owner’s decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can an invoice be raised in stages?
Yes. A large order can be billed in parts, such as on confirmation, on delivery and on completion, with each part tied to the same job.
Does the quoted figure change on the invoice?
Only through a variation line. The original quoted lines stay as agreed, and any difference shows separately.
Are credit notes possible?
Yes. A remake credited to the client is recorded as a credit note against the original invoice.
