Evaluation method
Reviewed 2026-10-05
Original service-billing worksheet and fictional worked example. Workflow reviewed 2026-10-05; not a claim about measured customer outcomes. Approvals, payment allocation, client portals, and tax decisions remain separate from scheduled delivery.
Using InvoiceAgent
After approvals and amounts are checked, use InvoiceAgent to prepare and schedule invoice delivery.
Illustrative example
A changing source under a fixed approval
- Tested time
- 10 h × USD 90 = USD 900
- Later source scenario
- 11 h × USD 90 = USD 990
- Potential difference
- USD 90 / 10% of the tested subtotal
- Actual approved basis
- Fixed USD 900
- Reviewed configuration
- Fixed line; time refresh disabled and checked
Fictional time-only scenario without tax or FX. No currency rate or final source total is predicted.
See the recorded product workflowWhat this document helps you record
A test PDF captures an invoice at one point in time. Time entries or currency inputs can change before the scheduled dispatch when refresh is enabled. A send-time refresh decision record makes that choice explicit: which input may change, why the agreement permits it and who will review a material difference.
Treat time and currency as separate decisions. For time, identify the source project, personal account, date window and eligible work. For currency, retain the actual currency agreement and relevant settings. The record does not freeze a source, set a guaranteed rate or create an approval gate inside InvoiceAgent; make and verify the actual product configuration.
The fictional time example previews 10 hours at USD 90, or USD 900. One extra hour in the same source window would produce USD 990 before tax if included in a later refresh. If the approved fee is fixed at USD 900, use the reviewed fixed representation and verify time refresh is disabled rather than relying on the earlier test.

How to complete the template
State what is approved
Record the agreement, amount basis and approved source window. Identify fixed-fee, eligible-hours or agreed conversion treatment without mixing them.
Review each changing input
Record time-refresh and currency settings separately. Compare the tested amount with a plausible changed input, then decide whether the resulting charge remains within authority.
Verify the saved configuration
Check the stored line and refresh settings after saving. Assign any necessary pre-send review and preserve a new test when the reviewed configuration changes.

Avoid this
Expecting a test to lock the amount
A test checks the current rendering. It does not stop source updates or create a hold pending your response.
Avoid this
Disabling time refresh but ignoring currency
The two inputs can affect the result independently. Check the actual currency behavior and agreement as well.

Questions people usually have before changing the workflow.
Does this guarantee the final amount?
No. It records the intended basis and checked settings. Confirm all amount-changing inputs in the actual invoice before sending.
Can I refresh hours but keep a fixed fee?
If the final fee must be fixed, a varying hours-based amount may contradict that basis. Use a reviewed representation that matches the agreement.
Does a source error fall back to the old preview?
Do not assume that. Inspect actual send status and errors, repair the source or reviewed setup, and check for provider acceptance before retrying an uncertain send.
