Frequently asked questions: writing invoices.
How can I write invoices faster as a tradesperson?
With Skava you record your service items directly on the construction site. The app recognizes labor and materials and generates a finished invoice with your logo. You don't need to type anything.
Do I need separate invoicing software for this?
No. Chat, line items, tasks and invoicing are in one app. You pass the finished invoice to your accountant as a PDF.
How much does the app cost for writing invoices?
Chat, projects, tasks and creating invoices are free. Only when an invoice created in Skava is paid through Skava do we charge 1% of the payment amount.
What details are mandatory on a trade invoice in Germany?
Full name and address of both parties, tax number or VAT ID, invoice date, sequential number, description of the work, date of performance, amount and tax rate. Skava pre-fills these from your company data and the documented work.
Can I turn a voice memo into an invoice?
Yes, that is the main path. You dictate on site what was done and get line items with quantities and materials, which you review before sending.
Can I see which invoices are still open?
Yes, the payment status sits in the same project as the work. You do not have to jump between accounting and job history to see who has not paid yet.
