Invoicing for tailors: customer invoice, workshop sheet and payments

Last updated: 25 October 2026

Invoicing software for tailors produces, for every order, a customer invoice with amounts, paid and balance, and a price-free workshop sheet with measurements and details, and records payments until the order is settled.

Every order in MQDAR gets an invoice automatically and prints two different documents: a customer invoice with amounts and the pickup date, and a workshop sheet with measurements and details but no prices.

The problem it solves

Handwritten invoices that are hard to read or follow up.
Tailors seeing customer prices and payments on their work sheet.
Not knowing what each customer has paid and still owes.

Customer invoice

Each piece on its own line, with the dependant's name on their line.
Amounts, paid, balance and pickup date.
Printed in the customer's language (Arabic, English or Urdu).
Manual invoices with free items when needed, and clear statuses: open, paid and cancelled.

Workshop sheet

One page per piece with the order number in large type, due date, template, quantity, dependant's name, fabric, measurements, design details and workshop instructions — with no prices, payments, customer name or phone number.

Printing

Sizes: A4, A5 and 80 mm and 58 mm thermal.
Per business or per branch: number of copies, header and footer text, terms, workshop instructions and hidden fields per document.

Payments

Cash or card, and bank transfer when recording a later payment.
Partial payments up to the remaining balance; the invoice becomes "paid" when fully settled.
Editing or cancelling a payment needs a finance permission and a reason, and cancelled payments stay on record.
Online payment by customers is not available inside the system.

VAT

A VAT-registered business issues a "simplified tax invoice" signed locally, with a downloadable XML file and ZATCA's QR code printed on it.
Prices are VAT-inclusive; VAT is extracted from the amount, so what the customer pays does not change.
A non-registered business issues a normal invoice with no VAT and no QR.
A VAT-registered business customer (with its VAT number and national address) gets a standard tax invoice with the buyer details.
An issued invoice is never edited: a credit note covers returns, cancellations and discounts after issue, and a debit note covers increases, both linked to the original invoice number.

Discounts

Active offers apply automatically under their conditions, and a discount coupon is entered in the «Coupon code» field when creating an order or in direct sales.
A manual discount for users with the permission, capped by a limit the owner sets and with a recorded reason.
The discount is spread across the invoice lines and VAT is calculated after it.
Ready for integration with the ZATCA FATOORA platform: signed simplified tax invoices with the ZATCA QR code and an XML file for VAT-registered businesses; the system is ready for integration with the ZATCA FATOORA platform (phase two).
