Fictional business need

A client needs scope and price clarity before samples are produced.

Elena's fictional studio, North Form Atelier, is discussing concept development, pattern preparation, sample fittings, and production-ready specifications. A quote communicates proposed work. After the agreed work is supplied, a separate invoice requests payment. Once payment is received, a receipt records the completed transaction.

Stage 01

Quote the proposed collection work

Use a quote while the client is deciding whether to proceed.

Create a quote

Example line items

Proposed workUnitExample amount
Capsule concept and visual directionproject€1,200
Three pattern-ready garment specifications3 designs€1,650
Sample fitting and revision roundsession€450

Review before sharing

  • Describe what the quote includes and excludes.
  • Set an appropriate validity period and currency.
  • Explain assumptions, revision limits, materials, and delivery timing in the notes.
  • Confirm the tax treatment and business details that apply before sharing the quote.
Stage 02

Invoice the work actually supplied

Use an invoice after reviewing the final delivered scope and amount due.

Create an invoice

What changes from the quote

  • Replace proposed descriptions with completed deliverables.
  • Remove work that was not supplied and add only agreed variations.
  • Use the actual issue date, payment terms, client reference, totals, and payment destination.
  • Add a tested payment-link or EPC/SEPA QR only when appropriate.

Move from acceptance to billing

After acceptance in the process Elena uses, she can create a new invoice or deliberately duplicate the quote and change its document type. She then reviews every field and keeps the quote as a separate record for the proposal stage.

Stage 03

Record payment with a receipt

Use a receipt only after payment has been received.

Create a receipt

Receipt details

  • Match the received amount and currency to the payment record.
  • Include an invoice, transaction, order, or internal reference.
  • Describe the supplied design work clearly.
  • Issue the receipt only after confirming the payment in your records.

Useful finished record

The receipt can carry the same seller identity, client details, logo, accent colour, and line structure. Payment-due terms are hidden for this settled document type. Export the reviewed file and deliver it using the channel the client expects.
