Just reminded me of the only time i have invoiced twice, eek. Basically i only invoice, almost always after the work has been done. Its a simple system that has worked for 14 years. I dont take deposits.
There was one instance where a regular client asked to be invoiced before i had done the work. I duly complied, thinking my memory was sufficient to remember i had done it. As you can probably guess, when i did actually do the work, i invoiced again.
the client emailed me to say "what the 8uck" - i rang him back, told him to throw the invoice in the bin and apologised for being a muppet and also thanked him for spotting it as it probably would have taken til the end of the financial year before i spotted it.
Honest errors do happen, even with the most sophisticated clients and suppliers.
I have had to correct errors with my preferred wholesaler a few times, often the errors are not in my favour.
