How to Create a Mobile Invoice
Have the customer’s billing details and the agreed charges ready. Keep the descriptions short enough to check easily on your screen.
- Check Your Business Details: Use the business contact information the customer should see.
- Add Your Business Logo: Add your logo and check the preview at invoice size.
- Choose the Customer: Select a saved customer to avoid retyping their address on your phone.
- Check the Dates: Check the invoice number, invoice date and payment due date.
- Enter the Job Charges: Add each service or material with its quantity and price.
- Check the Amount: Add applicable tax or discounts. Review the total before leaving the job.
- Add Payment Details: State how to pay and which payment reference to use.
Keep Mobile Invoice Line Items Easy to Check
Use a short service name and put the quantity in its own field. You do not need to type a full account of the visit into the description.
This illustrative USD example is for a lawn-care visit billed from the job site. The example applies 8% tax to all three charges; use only the tax that applies to your work.
| QTY | Description | Unit Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Lawn mowing — hours | $45.00 | $90.00 |
| 1 | Path edging | $20.00 | $20.00 |
| 3 | Yard-waste bags | $4.00 | $12.00 |
| Subtotal | $122.00 | |
| Sales Tax (8% example) | $9.76 | |
| Total | $131.76 |
What to Include in Mobile Invoice Terms
Tell the customer how and when to pay before you email the invoice. Clear instructions can save a follow-up call after you leave the job.
The example below uses payment on receipt for a completed visit. Use that timing only when it matches your agreement, and replace the bracketed contact details.
Example: Terms and Conditions
- Payment is due upon receipt of this invoice.
- Charges cover the completed visit listed in the invoice details.
- Pay by [Accepted Payment Method] using [Payment Details].
- Please include the invoice number with your payment.
- Send billing questions to [Billing Contact].
Finish the Invoice While the Job Is Fresh
Create the bill from your phone or tablet. Docelf calculates the total from the charges you enter. Check the preview before you send.
Give Small-Screen Details One Last Check
A quick review is especially useful when you are typing between jobs.
- Check the billing email instead of relying on a similar contact name.
- Review decimal points and quantities after typing on a small keyboard.
- Use the correct job address or service date when one customer has several locations.
- Read the total and payment instructions in the invoice preview.
- Check the emailed document’s history rather than assuming the customer has opened it.
Keep Long Job Details in an Attachment
Keep the description focused on the charge. Attach a job photo or supporting record when the customer needs more detail.
Docelf accepts PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG and WebP attachments up to 5 MB each. See how to attach a file for the steps.
Use the Same Business Look Away From Your Desk
Your invoice can include a logo, custom colors and fonts whether you create it on a phone, tablet or computer. Add a billing contact in the footer so the customer knows whom to reach.
Choose the currency for the bill from USD, EUR, GBP, CAD and AUD. You can also add an industry name before “Invoice.”
You can download a PDF or print the finished invoice. Printing from your phone depends on your device and printer setup.
Check the Bill After You Leave the Job
Sending the invoice is one step. Docelf keeps the due date and recorded payment status with the bill.
- Review delivery and opening information for the emailed invoice.
- Record the amount and date when the customer pays.
- Create a receipt from the invoice after recording payment.
Prefer a File-Based Mobile Invoice?
Use the file format you already work with on your device. These are separate templates, not Docelf exports to Word or a spreadsheet. Check the finished layout before sharing it.
