# The billing reports

The reports that read the money: what is unbilled, what is owed, what a repair earned, and what it consumed.

Thirteen of the twenty-seven reports follow a repair from the work done to the money collected. Between them they answer the question a workshop asks at the end of every month: what did we do, what did we charge for it, and what has actually arrived?

## Highlights

- **Uninvoiced Repairs is the one that finds money you have forgotten to ask for.**
- **Repair Profitability is the only report that reads cost as well as price.**
- **Parts Consumption connects the workshop to the stockroom.**
- **Six of these thirteen are shared platform reports**, so they read company-wide.
- **Run them on a finished period**, or the comparison is against a part-month.

*Uninvoiced Repairs, oldest first. Everything on this list is work you have done and not asked to be paid for.*

*Repair billing reports*

> **Tip:**
>
> **Run Uninvoiced Repairs on a Friday**
>
> Sorted by age, it is a to-do list rather than a report: everything at the top is work finished weeks ago that nobody has billed. A workshop that clears this list weekly does not have an accounts problem.

## Parts, customers and the money in

*The remaining billing reports*

> **Warning:**
>
> **Six of these read the whole company, not the workshop**
>
> Stock Summary, Invoice Details, Customer Balance Summary, Payments Received, Purchase Order Details and Receive History are the wider platform's reports, listed here because a workshop needs them. They are not narrowed to repair-sourced documents the way the Repairs screens are, so a total taken from one of them is an organisation total. It is the easiest mistake to make in this module and the hardest to spot afterwards.

> **Note:**
>
> **Profitability is only as honest as your cost prices**
>
> Repair Profitability subtracts cost from price. A service item left at a cost of zero makes every hour of labour look like pure margin, so the report will cheerfully tell you the workshop is more profitable than it is.
