Overview

There are two types of invoices that can be created in StayOnHire:

  • (recommended) - An invoice linked to a job or hire

  • - An invoice not linked to a job or hire

Both invoice types can be created from the blue 'Create' button:

Linked Invoices (recommended)

A linked invoices has additional functionality as is can prompt/remind your billing team to insert expenses or charges to the customer from a job/hire. This includes structured billable items like:

  • On/Off Hire Allocations

  • Transport (Mobe/Demobe charges)

  • Stand Downs

  • Damages Logs

  • Refuelling Events

  • Cleaning Fees

  • Other Billable Items

Linked invoices can be created by two methods:

  • From an open job, on the Billing tab

  • From the primary blue 'Create' button

From The Job (recommended)

We recommend generating draft invoices from the job drawer, in the billing tab or even from the Billing page calendar view, when looking at a job:

By generating an invoice from the context of a job, we can begin to see other billable items that may be due to charge this customer:

From the blue 'Create' button

Alternatively, this can be done from your blue 'Create' button in the top right-hand side of your page.

  1. Click 'Invoice'

  2. Select the 'Linked' tab

  3. Select the job you wish to link this new invoice to and click 'Create'

Standard Invoices

A standard invoice is no different than one created in your accounting system.

By selecting a client or customer contact, an empty draft invoice will be generated and opened on the right-hand side of your screen (or fullscreen if on a mobile device):

Accounting Sync

Invoices will not sync to an accounting package until they are marked as 'Approved' in StayOnHire.

In the example account pictured below, a Xero integration is connected.

When connected, a 'Sync Status' field will appear and display additional information on the progress of a sync.

Once and invoice is 'Approved' in StayOnHire, the invoice sync to your accounting integration will be completed:

We recommend using for all jobs managed in StayOnHire.
