CRM User Manual: Billing & Financials, Lesson 1: Invoicing

Invoicing

MeasureSquare CRM’s Invoicing module allows your team to create invoices, track payments, and manage customer billing—all without leaving the platform or resorting to spreadsheets. Whether billing from a proposal, billing a Change Order, or building an invoice manually, the CRM keeps every transaction linked directly to its project for clear financial visibility.


1. Creating and Managing Invoices

Invoices in MeasureSquare CRM can be created in several ways, depending on your workflow:

Ways to Create an Invoice

  • Start from scratch, adding line items manually

  • Generate from an approved Quote or Bid

  • Generate from an approved Change Order

This ensures you never have to retype information or manually copy pricing from one document to another.


2. Sending Invoices to Customers

Invoices can be emailed directly to your customer from inside MeasureSquare CRM. Once the email is sent:

  • The invoice status automatically changes from Draft → Sent

  • The email is tracked in the project

  • Your team has full visibility into customer communication


3. Recording Payments

MeasureSquare CRM supports flexible payment tracking to help you maintain accurate billing records.

Payment details you can record:

  • Amount received

  • Payment date

  • Payment method (cash, check, card, ACH, etc.)

  • Optional attachments (receipts, screenshots, transaction confirmations)

  • Internal notes

When payments are logged:

  • The system automatically updates the status (Partially Paid or Paid)

  • Remaining balances adjust in real time

  • Over-payments or under-payments are flagged for review

You may record multiple payments against the same invoice.


4. QuickBooks Online Integration

MeasureSquare CRM allows you to sync invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online.

You can choose to:

  • Manually sync selected invoices

  • Or enable automatic syncing

This keeps your accounting and job-costing data aligned without double-entry.

(Bills and Expenses syncing is coming soon.)

5. Invoicing Q&A

Can I create an invoice without a quote or proposal?
Yes, invoices can be created from scratch.

Can invoices be edited or deleted after sending?
Yes, you can still modify or delete them.

Can I record partial payments?
Yes. Record a payment for the amount received — the system will track the remaining balance.

Can I apply multiple payments?
Yes. Every payment logs separately and updates the running balance.

Do payments automatically close invoices?
Yes. When total payments equal the invoice amount, the invoice is automatically marked Paid.

Do I need QuickBooks Online?
No. The Invoicing module works independently.


Next Steps

Once invoicing is complete, you can use the Financials module to track bills, expenses, profitability, and soon—full Work in Progress (WIP) reporting.
