## How do you invoice after deliveries are signed?

To invoice after deliveries are signed, point Maito at your delivery forms and orders. It matches each signed slip to its order, prepares the invoice, and holds any with a shortage or note. It posts a daily summary in Slack of what is ready and what needs a person.

## How it's done today

Signed slips sit on drivers' phones and invoices wait days.

## What Maito does

1.  Read each delivery slip
2.  Match it to the order
3.  Flag shortages
4.  Prepare invoices for release after review

## Example

Loop run: Daily 4:00 PM · Delivery slips

**Maito** (4:00 PM):

6 deliveries were completed. 5 signed clean: invoices INV-3301 to INV-3305, $7,412.60 total, ready to release.

**Held:** Initech Cafes. The driver wrote "short 2 cases." The order was 24 cases ($1,008.00). At 22 cases it is $924.00.

Catch: the Acme Diner slip was signed Friday Oct 16 but entered today. Net 15 counts from delivery, so the invoice is due Oct 31, not Nov 3.

From the delivery forms and the orders in the accounting software. Nothing has been sent.

**Omar** (4:09 PM):

Release the five. Invoice Initech at 22 cases.

**Maito** (4:11 PM):

INV-3301 to INV-3305 released. Initech Cafes invoiced at 22 cases, $924.00, which makes 6 invoices in all. The Acme Diner invoice is dated Oct 16, due Oct 31.

## How to set it up

## What it won't do

It can't judge whether a driver's shortage note is right. It holds the invoice and leaves the decision with you.

## Questions

### Which tools does it need?

QuickBooks or Xero for invoices, your email, and a form tool such as Typeform or Tally through a skill with a login or API key in the Vault.

### Does it send invoices to customers?

No. It prepares them and nothing is released until you approve.

### What happens with a short delivery?

The invoice is held and shown with the quantity difference, so you can correct the amount before anyone is billed.
