Printing an Invoice or Receipt

There are two ways of printing an invoice/receipt:

  2. On the Invoice panel banner, you'll see a white printer icon.

Method 2: Quick Print

Editing the Amount Charged for a Service

When you add a service to an appointment Power Diary uses the default Sell Price related to the service as the fee. You can edit the amount charged for a particular appointment if required. For example, you may decide to discount a service for a client on a particular day.  Here's how you do it:

1. Right-click on the appointment and select Edit Invoice (You can also click Invoice → Edit Invoice in the appointment panel).

2. Enter the amount you wish to charge in the Price field.

3. Click Save Invoice.

Adding Multiple Payment Methods or Part-payments

A client may pay using multiple payments (e.g. Cash and Eftpos), or may only make a partial payment.  You can easily manage these situations using the Edit Invoice feature. Here is how you do it:

1. Right-click on the appointment and select Edit Invoice (You can also click Invoice → Edit Invoice in the appointment panel).

2. Use the "Add Payment" function to add a partial payment, or to add multiple payment methods (e.g. $50 cash and $80 Eftpos).
