Invoice checklist before you send
Nine details that stop an invoice from being queried or delayed.
Most late payments start with an unclear invoice. Before sending, check the details below — it takes under a minute and removes the most common reasons for a query.
- Correct legal name and address of the customer
- A unique invoice number in sequence
- Issue date and due date, not just terms
- Line descriptions a stranger could understand
- Tax shown separately where it applies
- Bank or payment details on the document itself
General information only. Check details independently before making business or financial decisions.
