Invoice system with no DB

Post by cpcnw »

Hi,

Does anyone have an invoice system setup using TM and PM?

I would need serialized invoice number, customer info, date created-due and unpaid-paid fields in PM linked to a master template in TM

Any tips?

Cheers

I have never done anything like an invoice, but I suspect you could do it by setting up your page how you want, with appropriate words, spaces, etc, and save it as a template.

The only thing is that you would have to type in the words invoice number (or whatever you want) and then type in the invoice number manually, or set up some type of computational function.

The details for setting up computational functions in TM are on page 335 of the TM manual. (I have never had the need to do this, so you will just have to study the manual.)

My pleasure. I hope you can do what you want, and that the computational function can do what you need.

Create and distribute smart invoices (for recurring billing here) that are tailored to appear elegant, simple, and simple for customers to understand. It also self-service. I can change mine for a one-time fee. It appeared to offer the same thing to me, but it was less expensive in the long run and allowed me to customize it more because I could create or modify the code as needed.
