We just put them in the post box to be honest, but then I am really thick when it comes to computers lol!!!!!

Depends what the customer wants. I normally email them.

I would put a printed letterhead in the post saying "with regards to..." unless they request one online. I used to print one on a letterhead and then a second on plain A4 for my records.

As above - depends on the client.

if we have a direct contact with the accounts dept and email then we pdf.
otherwise it's the 'old fashioned paper invoice'  handed over on the day  and either payment
there and then or within 7 working days

Some I do by email and .pdf.  Some I print and post.  Some I print and hand over in person.
My software setup seems a bit archaic but it works for me (MS Works 6.0).
I keep the list of invoices as a database - with all the relevant fields.  I use a word processor document to mailmerge from the database.  So if I want to print invoice number 25 to .pdf I just select to print page 25 to 25 and then use the .pdf creation software to save it in the .pdf folder for that year's accounts.  I can then attach it to the email.
Sounds complicated but simple when you've got it set up as you want it.

Have you missed a zero from the 7 working days mate and it should read 70??

[Smudger]

Nah -   7 days -  don't think we have ever waited more than 14 for any of the commercial accounts to be upto date

Good effort,

I can't fault that,

I was only joking, most people pay within 30 days to be fair,
