Table Structures and Columns

• Tax Amount (Currency, calculated dynamically)
• Subtotal (Currency, sum of line item amounts)
• Total Due (Currency, Subtotal + Tax Amount)
• Status (Dropdown: "Draft", "Sent", "Paid", "Overdue")

3. Financial Summary Sheet

• Total Invoices Generated (Count of records)
• Total Revenue (Gross) (Sum of Total Due across all invoices)
• Total Tax Collected (Sum of Tax Amounts)
• Cash vs. Credit (Categorized by Payment Method)
• Outstanding Balance (Sum of unpaid invoices with Status = "Overdue" or "Sent")
• Average Days to Collect (Calculated as: Total Days from Date Issued to Due Date / Total Invoices)
• Overdue Invoices Count (Count of invoices where Today() > Due Date)

Formulas Required

The template includes a robust set of formulas to automate calculations and ensure data integrity:

• Tax Amount (Line Item): =IF(Tax Rate > 0, Quantity * Unit Price * (Tax Rate / 100), 0)
• Subtotal: =SUMPRODUCT(Quantity, Unit Price)
• Total Due: =Subtotal + Tax Amount
• Date Due: =Date Issued + Days (e.g., 30 for Net 30 terms — uses a configurable cell in Settings)
• Outstanding Balance Check: =IF(AND(Status="Sent", TODAY() > Due Date), TRUE, FALSE)
• Monthly Revenue (Summary Sheet): =SUMIFS(Total Due, Date Issued, ">=start_of_month", Date Issued, "<=end_of_month")
• Average Collection Period: =AVERAGEIFS(Due Date - Issue Date, Status, "Sent")
• Conditional Data Validation for Tax Rate: Restricted to 0–20% range (user-friendly)

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visual clarity and alert users to financial risks:

• Overdue Invoices (Red Background): Applied when Status = "Sent" AND Today() > Due Date
• Paid Invoices (Green Background): When Status = "Paid"
• High Balance Alerts (Yellow Highlight): When Outstanding Balance exceeds 5% of total revenue in a month
• Due Date Warning Strip: Gradient fill from green to orange if due within 7 days, red if overdue
• Client Credit Limit Exceeded (Red Text): If Total Due > Client Credit Limit in the master list
