Sending an Invoice from the Mobile App

This article walks technicians through sending an invoice in the field from the ServiceTrade mobile app. The steps are as follows, and each is discussed below:

• Generate an Invoice from the Job Page

Technicians can also void invoices from the mobile app from the View Invoice page which is discussed below. 

Note: Technicians must have the Account Tech + Invoice role (in addition to the default Account Tech role) in order to perform mobile invoicing in the field within the native mobile app (Android and iOS). If you do not have permission, contact one of your account's admin users.
