Tuesday Tool Tip – Accept Invoice Button Setting

Sep 30, 2024

Accept Invoice Button Setting:

Ever send out an “Estimate”, but notice the email says “Accept Invoice.” P3 has an Invoice Setting that allows companies to control this display.

As a reminder, P3 has a single document called an “Invoice”. The Invoice has four statuses – Not Authorized, Work Authorized, Complete and Not Paid and Complete and Paid.

When the “Invoice” is in a status of “Not Authorized” it represents work that has been offered, but has not been accepted by the Customer. As this can be confusing to give an “Invoice” to a customer when they haven’t accepted the work, P3 has a setting that allows your company to change the label to something else, like “Estimate” or “Proposal”.

Now, to keep the language consistent, we recommend using this P3 setting for the Accept button. By using the Invoice Setting, the Accept button becomes dynamic and is based on the label set by the company. Using the same examples above, with the Setting activated the Accept button now becomes “Accept Estimate” or “Accept Proposal.”

The Setting can be found on the General Invoice Settings page, in the Display Settings section. The setting is labeled “Is Accept Invoice Button Dynamic.” If the value is Yes, then the accept button will be based on the Invoice label. If the value is No, then accept button will display “Accept Invoice”.

I first heard about HVAC Business Solution’s service software in a hvac-talk.com group for contractors and decided to give it a try based upon the feedback from other owners. I am glad I did! These guys solicit input from their customers and then take action which really sets them aside from the competition. They are very innovative and are constantly making what is already good even better. In the short period of time I have been on P3 HVAC Solutions, they have added a lot of new features and they have never charged me a dime more for them.

We have been using flat rate pricing provided by HVAC Business Solutions for about 10 years now and it’s been a positive, profitable decision. The technology of being able to adjust pricing, update and customize individual pages, add new products as needed from their website are all phenomenal features. Creating flat rate pricing can be a time consuming and daunting task, but HVAC Business Solutions makes it easy. We look forward to a long lasting relationship between Bob’s Heating & HVAC Business Solutions.

Best change we made in 40 years in business. Literally reduced hundreds of hours work inputting services tickets and invoices into a program.
