How This Automation Works
Order Confirmed → Professional Invoice Created
Order Confirmation Triggers Invoice Process
When a sales representative confirms a window or door order in your management system, the trigger immediately captures all order data including customer information, contact details, billing and installation addresses, payment terms, and customer account classification.
Product and Service Details Extracted
The system extracts complete product specifications including window styles, sizes, materials, glass options, hardware selections, finish colors, energy ratings, door types, frame details, and any custom modifications. Installation services, delivery fees, disposal charges, and warranty options are also captured.
Pricing Calculation and Line Item Generation
Configured pricing rules automatically calculate costs for base products, custom size premiums, upgrade charges, installation labor based on complexity and location, material costs, and applicable fees. The system generates detailed line items with descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and extended totals.
Tax and Discount Application
Sales tax is automatically calculated based on installation location, product taxability rules, and local tax rates. Customer-specific discounts, volume pricing, promotional offers, and payment term discounts are applied according to account settings and current promotions.
Invoice Formatting and Branding
The system formats the invoice using your company template including logo, contact information, payment instructions, terms and conditions, and project-specific notes. Payment options, due dates, and account numbers are clearly displayed. The invoice is assigned a unique number following your numbering sequence.
Accounting System Integration and Storage
The completed invoice is automatically saved to your accounting software with proper customer account linkage, revenue category assignment, and tax tracking. The invoice status is set to 'sent' or 'pending' based on delivery method, and payment tracking begins immediately.
Customer Delivery and Notification
The invoice is automatically delivered to the customer via their preferred method—email with PDF attachment, customer portal access, or flagged for print mailing. Customers receive a professional notification with payment options, project details, and contact information for billing questions.
How It Works
Transform your window and door business billing process with intelligent invoice generation that activates immediately upon order completion. This system automatically extracts customer details, product specifications, measurements, and pricing from your sales orders to create accurate, professional invoices without manual intervention. Whether you're handling custom window installations, door replacements, or bulk commercial projects, automated invoice generation ensures billing accuracy while your team focuses on installation and customer service. The system handles complex pricing structures including hardware upgrades, custom sizes, installation fees, and material variations, producing itemized invoices that meet industry standards and customer expectations.
The Trigger
When a window or door sales order is marked as confirmed in your order management system, the invoice generation process begins automatically. This trigger captures all order details including customer information, product specifications, measurements, custom features, hardware selections, installation requirements, and agreed pricing to initiate the billing workflow.
The Action
A complete, itemized invoice is generated containing customer details, order specifications, line-item pricing for products and services, applicable taxes, payment terms, and delivery information. The invoice is formatted according to your business branding, saved to your accounting system, and prepared for immediate delivery to the customer via email or customer portal.

Eliminate Manual Invoice Creation Time
Remove the repetitive task of manually creating invoices from order paperwork. Your administrative team no longer needs to re-enter customer data, transcribe product specifications, or manually calculate totals, freeing them to focus on customer service and project coordination.

Automatic data extraction eliminates transcription errors, forgotten line items, and calculation mistakes that lead to customer disputes and payment delays. Consistent pricing application ensures customers are charged correctly according to their quotes and agreements.
