Creating and 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
• View the Invoice
• Send the Invoice

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.

1. From the Job Page, navigate to the bottom of the page to find the quick action button called "Generate Invoice."
   
2. Click the Generate Invoice action button, and the app will navigate you to the Invoice page, where you will see the following fields for your input:

Sending an Invoice
