## About invoices and payments.

Do I have to write the invoice again?

No. Approved parts and labor carry into the invoice without retyping. Declined work stays out. Changed or added work needs customer approval.

Can I record deposits and partial payments?

Yes. Record each payment and see the remaining balance with the repair. A partial payment does not mark the whole invoice as paid.

Can I give the customer a receipt?

Yes. Provide a receipt for a recorded payment. Keep the payment record and remaining balance with the same repair.

Does Brinlo sync with my accounting software?

No. Export records in CSV for your accountant. Brinlo does not provide native accounting sync or automatic reconciliation.

## Keep every payment with the repair.

Send the invoice, record payments, and see the balance without separating them from the job.
