    Changing Invoice Appearance/Format

    Dear all,

    So far I was issueing invvoices in .doc format without company logo etc (however with all required information on it). After recently having created my company logo, Can I change the format to .xls (for easy calculations) and add a bit of colour including company logo on it? I will keep the invoice serial number sequence intact. Will this be a problem?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks ina advance!

    Why do you think what your invoice looks like will matter?

    Do you think that every other supplier out there was using your previous format and you're suddenly breaking rank? Even changing invoice sequence doesn't matter - you could make up any random sequence of letters and numbers as your invoice sequence each time.

    As long as your invoice has all of the required information (and preferably clearly) then it's fine.

          One or more sequences - nothing to say number of sequences can't be equal to number of invoices

            Actually, there is, if you're invoicing the same client more than once. If your assertion were true, the reference to "sequential" would be moot.

            Try here.

                  My agency doesn't even read the invoice - they pay whatever the timesheet says even if it's not what I invoiced for.

                    Same, though I generally think PDF is more professional for any document that should be taken "as-is".
