PDF invoices and receipts

RepairNode generates A4 PDFs locally on the device. There is no server-side document service in the middle, so previews and exports still work offline.

The six PDF documents

• Repair invoice for final repair billing.
• Repair receipt or work ticket for intake, signatures, accessories, and pickup proof.
• Order invoice for parts-order billing.
• Order receipt for parts received or customer acknowledgement.
• Quote A4 document for customer-facing offers.
• Analytics PDF report for KPI, revenue, and breakdown exports.

What appears in the header

• Shop logo, or the built-in placeholder if no custom logo is set.
• Shop name and contact details from Shop Details.
• Document title, document number or prefix, and the document date.
• QR codes on receipt-style documents when customer tracking is enabled and available for that record.

Preview, share, and print

1. 1
   Open the record document action

   Repairs and orders expose Invoice and Receipt entries. Quotes use the single Quote Documents action.
2. 2
   Choose the A4 preview path

   That opens the in-app PDF preview screen for the selected document.
3. 3
   Share or print from the preview

   The preview supports system sharing and printing. Repair invoices also keep their dedicated email-attachment flow where the app supports it.

Prefixes, terms, and footer text

Repair, order, and quote document text is configured separately. Prefixes, terms, and footer text live in the document settings for each entity and format.

• Repair Documents for repair invoice and repair receipt text.
• Order Documents for order invoice and order receipt text.
• Quote Documents for A4 and thermal quote wording.

Logo and shop branding

Logo, shop name, phone, address, website, and tax ID come from Shop Details. The PDF header uses those saved values directly, so the document looks like a real business export instead of a generic app printout.

Tax snapshot behavior

Repairs, orders, and quotes snapshot the current tax settings when the record is created. Later changes to shop tax do not silently rewrite historical document tax lines.

Thermal fallback to PDF

If a text-mode thermal printer cannot safely render the document language or characters, RepairNode offers the A4 PDF preview instead of printing corrupted output full of question marks.
