How do I create a tailoring invoice and attach a measurement to its line?

A tailoring invoice is not an ordinary sales invoice: each line is tied to a measurement and a colour, and that is what the tailor works from.

Steps

1. Open Tailoring → Create invoice — Figure 1.
2. Pick the customer and the branch, and set the invoice date and the delivery date.
3. Enter the paper invoice number if you run a paper book alongside the system.
4. Add the lines: choose the service and its price appears, then the quantity and the colour.
5. Attach the line to the customer’s measurement from the list — Figure 2 — the single most important step on the whole invoice.
6. Write line notes if this particular garment has a special request.
7. Add the discount and the tax rate, and check the financial summary.
8. Record the advance payment from the same form if you took one, then save.

Notes

• A line with no measurement attached means a tailor asking and a clerk searching; it is the biggest source of delay in a shop.
• The fabric colour on the line prevents mixing up two garments for the same customer in the same order.
• The delivery date is not a courtesy; overdue tracking and customer trust both rest on it.
• If the customer has several measurements, check the label before attaching.
