Your prompt
Make an invoice. From: [your from] To: [your client] [your line items] Tax: [your tax] Get the arithmetic right and show it: line totals, subtotal, tax, total due. Then check the total against the lines a second time. An invoice with a wrong total does not get paid late, it gets queried, and the query costs more than the invoice. Include an invoice number, an issue date, a due date and payment terms. Without a number and a date it is not an invoice, it is a letter about money. Deliver a PDF that prints cleanly on A4 and US Letter.
Use Make an invoiceOpens with everything above already filled in.
Why this works
An invoice with a wrong total does not get paid late, it gets queried, and the query costs more than the invoice. This does the arithmetic, checks it twice, and includes the number, dates and terms without which it is a letter about money rather than an invoice.
Questions
- Does it handle tax?
- Give it a rate and it applies it as a separate line with the correct total.
