Record a vehicle's mileage

Record the mileage while a vehicle is in, so the job and its invoice say what the clock read.

On the job

  1. Open the job.
  2. Type the reading into the Mileage card in the side panel.
  3. If the clock reads in kilometres, choose km next to it instead of mi.
  4. Choose Save job.

On the invoice

  1. Create the invoice, or open its draft.
  2. Check Mileage above the lines. It starts with the job's reading, or the vehicle's latest reading if the job has none.
  3. Change it if this invoice needs a different reading, for example when you're invoicing an older job.
  4. Choose Save draft or Generate invoice.

Good to know

  • Mileage is optional. Leave it blank if you don't know it.
  • Once a job has a mileage you can change it, but not remove it. Saving with Mileage blank keeps the reading the job already had.
  • While Mileage is blank, the last recorded mileage and its date show underneath. That's the newest reading from the vehicle's last MOT test or from another of your jobs.
  • A mileage typed on an invoice stays on that invoice. It doesn't change the job.
  • Once an invoice is issued, its mileage can't be changed.
  • A change to a job's mileage shows in the job's history.
  • The vehicle page and the Vehicles list show the newest reading, whether it came from an MOT test or from one of your jobs.
