Invoice subject line/ word count Mar 3, 2009

Hi Jason,

Thanks so much for your efforts..

1. Yes, now the subject line topic is clear in my mind. I am feeling silly.
2. I realize that the uploading part would be dicey.

Thanks again Jason !

Regards,
Umang

I am dreaming... Mar 4, 2009

Dear Jason,
I would be so-o-o-o happy to use this invoice! But the strict rules of our Financial and Tax Control Administration forced me to buy a special invoicing programme which has to be updated for a special fee each year ;-((( but this is a great feature!!! I think, as I have a lot of ProZians-translators, let them know, if you billing to me, please, do not forget to put both of tax numbers on the invoice, yours and mine.

Have a nice day, Liza Czopyk

Can't find things sometimes.... Mar 5, 2009

Disagree -other features more important Mar 5, 2009

I think the word count is superfluous in this tool, it will just cause new issues as various WC systems give various results.... It should stay in the WP or CAT tool and be entered manually just as the project name...
just my 2 cents....

Do Hungary tax authorities require use of a specific invoicing tool? Mar 5, 2009

Hi Liza,

Thanks for the kind words. Did I understand correctly--are you saying that tax authorities in Hungary require you to use their specific invoicing tool and no other?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Janis,

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't realize the invoicing tool wasn't appearing in the main menu for those using the old site design. It's there now, look under "My ProZ.com", "Tools", or "Jobs".

FYI, the current site design has a free text site search option in the upper right of each page. (You can switch to the new design by clicking "Switch design" at the top of the page.)

Yes, please! Staff can convert forum posts into trouble tickets if needed. I'll get this delete invoice glitch fixed shortly.

Thanks for all the helpful feedback.

Best regards,

Jason

Dates now shown in same language as invoice template Mar 5, 2009

Astrid Elke Johnson wrote:
There is a nice German template, and then, where the due date goes, it says "Zahlungstermin". However, it is not possible to edit this date, which is written out in the long form, to write the month in German. If the rest of the invoice is in German, then I need to be able to write the full date in German too. It cannot appear in English.


Hi Astrid,

Thanks again for pointing this out. Dates should now be shown in the same language as the invoice template. Please let me know if there's any issue with the date translations.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jesús,

I'm not sure I understand you clearly. Are you seeing data actually removed from an existing invoice, or does this problem occur when creating a new invoice? When you save terms and conditions for one invoice, those terms aren't automatically used for new invoices you create in the future. To save the terms once, and have them automatically appear in new invoices, you can specify your default terms and conditions in your invoice settings page. If I misunderstood the issue, please reply with a specific example of the problem to help me reproduce it.

Also... is there a chance that invoices are actually not sent to customers.... when you send an invoice to a customer if you want to double check you go to your sent items in outlook or wherever but with the tool we have to trust it does?????


The "comments and history" box at the bottom of each invoice records when an invoice was sent. When sending an invoice, you can also select the option "Also send a copy to me", to help you verify the message was sent.

Best regards,

Jason

reminder of payment Mar 9, 2009

Hi,
I wonder if a reminder can also be added to the invoice page, so that a translator can send a reminder if the invoice gets pastdue?

1 buggy Mar 9, 2009

Hi Jason,
I'm fiddling around with the invoices and noticed a tiny bug. Let me know if this is not the right forum for this.

I created a 'Days' unit in my French invoice, and when I saved the draft the volume number and volume label switched places, i.e. instead of reading "20 jours" it reads "jours 20".

Thanks!
Natalia
