While it is a service invoice template for hourly rate billing, the free hourly invoice form still keeps the 'Ship To' section from the general sales invoice template designed by us at UniformSoft.com, but now the section has a new title labeled with 'Job Location', with which you can detail the place where the services are performed.

The invoice template has an image located on the top-left corner of the form that serves as a placeholder for your own company or business logo. To do this, simply unprotect the Invoice worksheet and then switch to design mode. Then, right-click the default logo image and choose Properties. Click the '...' button on the Picture property to browse to and use your own logo image. You can also delete the logo image completely if you don't need it. To do this, while in design mode and the Invoice worksheet is not protected, click the image to select it, hit DEL key on your keyboard to delete it.

Near the logo image is your company information. In this section, you should detail your company/business name, address, city state and zip, contact number and Tax ID if applicable. At the right section, you may find the fields for 'invoice#' and 'invoice date'. These are two important fields that should appear on all invoices. The 'invoice#' field should be filled with a unique number - it is generally called invoice number but usually you can add prefix text to it, such as 'INV'. If you use Invoice Manager, the invoicing program will help you generate unique invoice numbers automatically.

The next section is designed for customer and job location information, where you should detail the customer's name, address, city, state and zip, country, and contact information. A same group of fields should be filled in under the 'Job Location' label if they differ from what appear in the 'Bill To' section.

Next are 4 fields for you to fill in: Purchase Order #, Sales Person Name, Payment Term, Payment Due Date.

There are 5 columns on the body of the invoice form: #, Description, Hours, Rate and Amount. The Amount is calculated automatically using Excel formulas.

On the bottom of the invoice form, you can find subtotal, tax rate and amount, shipping and handling, total, paid and total due. Subtotal, tax amount, total and total due are calculated automatically.

The invoice form is designed to be printable on standard A4 paper (210 mm X 297 mm). It also has the 'Center on page horizontally' and 'Center on page vertically' options checked on the Page Setup dialog box. In case you need to adjust the options, simply open the Page Setup dialog box in Excel, make the required adjustments, and then save the hourly invoice template.
