From job completion to payment recorded — fully tracked

Coglass invoicing follows the natural flow of a glazing job. Here's how it works in practice.

1
Create the invoice
Raise a standard invoice, deposit invoice, or proforma directly from the order. All job details, glass lines, and pricing carry across automatically — no re-entering data.
2
Set payment terms
Set the issue date, due date and payment terms (e.g. 14 days, 30 days, on completion). Coglass automatically flags the invoice as overdue if the due date passes without payment.
3
Send to customer
Mark as sent and Coglass emails the PDF invoice to your customer. The invoice shows all line items, VAT breakdown, bank details and payment instructions.
4
Record payment
When payment arrives, open the invoice and record it: amount, date, method (cash, BACS, card, cheque) and reference. Partial payments are tracked automatically — the outstanding balance updates in real time.
5
Track what's owed
The invoices dashboard shows Total Outstanding, Overdue, Paid This Month and Draft at a glance. Filter by status to chase what needs chasing — no mental arithmetic required.
6
Full payment history
Every payment is logged against the invoice with method, date, reference and who recorded it. Full audit trail for your accounts — nothing disappears, nothing is overwritten.
