Quilt
Information / Invoice
Once
you enter in the size of the quilt, the program will
automatically calculate square yards and square inches.
Then you have the choice of which unit to use for
charge calculation.
Choose your predetermined types of quilting and charge
from a drop down list, and the charge is calculated.
If the customer is interested in looking at different
types of quilting, just choose a different quilting
type and the charges are quickly updated.
The
rest of the invoice is just as easy. You can pick
from your predetermined pantographs, typical custom
design choices, etc. Make notes about the quilting
design in borders, blocks and general notes.
Choose from your predetermined thread choices. Specialty
and overall thread charges are available.
Batting and Backing are charged by the linear inch
which allows you to consider the size of the quilt.
To quickly calculate binding charges, the program
totals up the quilt's circumference and you choose
which type of binding to be applied, the charge is
calculated.
Extra
charges are available for Set up, Turning, Sleeves,
Pressing, Seaming, Trimming, Quilt Labels, Embroidered
Messages, and two open spaces for your own type of
charge.
Enter
the number of hours taken to quilt the project to
increase your analysis of your business practices.
Once all the information has been entered, you can
now print an invoice and a shop invoice. The invoice
is given to the customer to outline the costs of the
quilt. If that customer has a future date on your
waiting list, that date will automatically print across
the bottom of the invoice. The shop invoice has a
little different look but the same information. The
date due and the customer are in large print, thus
very easily read from a distance.
For
those of you with varying sales tax rates, a variable
tax rate field is provided. You can select the appropriate
tax rate from a list to use as needed.
