Hi all,
I am looking for the specific wording to be used in my invoices or work orders under Terms and Conditions. I sell materials and installation services for residential and commercial clients; products: laminate, hardwood and sometimes tile floors. I got some samples from other stores, but I really want to hear our opinions (in this site) better. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Do you want General Provisions (short version) like would go along with a service call type work order or the long set that goes with a contract?

Thanks for your reply realpurty2. I would be interested on the short version - service call for now.

I just started using quickbooks for my business. I just have the simple start edition and i see a problem with the items on an invoice already. It doesnt seem to coordinate with construction services. It prompts you to enter an item before a description of work and this item isnt something to take lightly because it ties into your accounts. What I had to do was give a "very" basic item description of my services like Basic Hardware Adjustment = 15$ or Basic Install = 20$. I really dont like itemizing my invoices because its never the same and its just gives the customer something to quable about but QB simple start edition doesnt give you a choice.

Do you guys who use QB have the contractors edition? If so have they fixed this problem with that?

Then don't. Keep the work assessment detailed in your work, however scratch out the cost.

I don't use QB, so I don't know much about how it works. I'm assuming the work order autosums. Doesn't it have a hide function, if so, just hide the cost details. I do it in my contracts, not to be dishonest, but to keep homeowners from trying to pick me apart.

Thats a pretty outstanding set of provisions Purty.
