Date of Invoice Item

[Kaygee46]

I have a small consulting business and I've been using my own Excel invoice form, but it is only an invoice and doesn't handle payments and outstandings etc so yesterday I downloaded the free version of Express Invoices (2.16).

 

As far as I can see there's no way to include the date of a service against that item on the invoice. If I visit a client three times in a week, or ten times in a month, I want to show the dates of those service visits against the relevant items on the weekly or monthly invoice.

 

Can this be done, and can the discount column be removed? I don't offer any discounts, but having this on the invoice makes it look as though I do, but not for this client. It looks bad to the client who then asks for the discount.

Today is Jan 19, 2013, I have EXACTLY THE SAME NEEDS, need to have a date column in the invoices since we send the invoices at the end of the month and bill on the actual date of service, any solution or suggestions yet? Thanks

Rather than entering an Item in the Item column you could change the name of the column to date using the invoice options and enter the date. If you have to state the item you could add it in the description column

Flyfisher's suggestion is good. Here is another suggestion:

 

Create a separate invoice for each of the service date, and generate a 'customer statement'. Customer statement can be generated as following:

- Go to 'View' -> 'Customers',

- In the customers list window, select the desired customer, right-click on it and select 'Statement'

- It lets you preview, print, email and save the statement.

 

If you view the statement, you can see that the first column is date column for each of the invoices.
