Keep charter charges, driver costs and subcontractor bills linked to the same trip, while separating customer billing from internal profit reporting.
A charter invoice explains what the customer owes. A trip cost record explains what it cost to provide the service. Connect both to the original charter so late fuel, parking, or subcontractor charges are not lost after billing.
No account required for the PDF receipt tool. Customer records and invoices are available on Pro; costs, payment tracking, and profit reports require Business. Compare plans.
What to record and review
Confirm the customer, service date, trip reference, and agreed charges.
Review driver, vehicle, parking, toll, and subcontractor costs separately from the customer invoice.
Apply customer and vendor payments to their respective balances.
Worked example
A $2,000 charter with $1,400 in recorded trip costs has $600 profit before overhead. Receiving the customer's $2,000 payment settles the receivable; it does not add another $2,000 of revenue.
Illustrative figures, not a quote or an industry benchmark.
Should internal driver costs appear on the customer invoice?
Not automatically. The invoice should reflect agreed customer charges. Keep internal costs in the trip record unless a cost is explicitly part of the agreed customer billing.
