Setup

  1. create a folder named after your client;
  2. create or copy the configuration files inside the client folder;

Configuration Files

Here is an exhaustive list of the required configuration files:

  • payee.txt - containing the company address;
  • payor.txt - containing the client's address;
  • invoice-number.txt - containing the last current invoice number. Incremented automatically;
  • tax-rate.txt - containing the tax name and rate (i.e. HST|13);
  • pay-interval.txt - containing the pay interval (i.e. 30);
  • locale.txt - containing the date locale (i.e. 'en');
  • currency.txt - containing the currency symbol (i.e. '$');
  • branch-address.txt - containing the bank branch address;
  • account-info.txt - containing the bank account information;
  • invoice-lines.txt - containing the invoice lines: a brief description followed by the price, separated by a '|';
  • payment-method.txt - containing the payment method and type or check number separated by a '|' (if applicable, see below).

Examples

Here are a few sample configuration files, in particular those which have more than one field, with a separator ('|' by default):

Sample tax rate file:
HST|13

Sample invoice line (there is no limit to the number of lines stored):
brake bleed|100.00

Payment Method file examples:
check|123
or
transfert|0
or
credit-card|VISA

The check number is ignored when 'transfert' is selected.

Usage

Two ways, same result:

  1. Double-click on Invoicer. Browse for the client folder. Out comes a new invoice.
  2. Run Invoicer followed by the folder name on the command line. Out comes a new invoice.

Version History

  • v1.1 - added support for currencies via the currency.txt file.
  • v1.0 - initial version.

Planned

  • a way to record each invoice metadata for later retrieval and parsing;
  • global totals and sales tax for filing;
  • an invoice line composer?
