Landscape Maintenance
Invoicing
Introduction
This tutorial is designed to instruct you through invoicing for work completed on a job
What you will learn in this session is how to create, print and post your invoices in the SLICEplus software
What you will see are various screen shots from the SLICEplus software and associated notes about the screen in the notes section at the bottom of your screen
Information on how to set up the software is covered in classes, in the SLICEplus manual, and the F1 function key online help feature, and other tutorials
Before Proceeding…
To create an invoice an order job must have been previously created.  Please see the Landscape Maintenance Order Job tutorial for instruction on creating the contract
The way the contract (or Order Job) has been entered is the way the Invoice will look when printed (i.e. if the Order Job has all items listed, the invoice will have all items listed)
The system will only allow one open invoice per job at a time – so before attempting to invoice, make sure all previously created invoices have been posted
Invoicing
Once you have completed some or all of the work
You have accounted for all the costs; materials, equipment, and labor
It is time to get paid for the work
Invoicing
When the Order/Job is ready to be invoiced, this function enables Order/Job selection, Full or Partial Item Invoicing, Invoice Printing and Viewing, Applying Credits, Posting Invoices for Accounting and Canceling Invoices.

Work Ticket Billing
Work Tickets (sometimes called Service Tickets) are created in the Production function of SLICEPlus and are used to identify, control and manage Order/Job operations.  Work Tickets, created from Order/Job Contracts, can be used to directly invoice the customer.
Work Ticket Billing
Cyclical Billing
The regular and repetitive nature of landscape maintenance contracts lend themselves to cyclical billing.  Cyclical billing enables automatic billing of one or more contracts for the next contract operation performed during a billing period.  Operations are billed on a regular cycle until all operations are billed completely.  Two methods of cyclical billing can be used in SLICEPlus, by single item or by all items.
