Where a free one-off generator gets limiting
Trade Guidance
Separate labor, materials, and milestone billing so customers can see what they are paying for.
If you collected a deposit or prior payment, mention it clearly in the notes or line items.
Use the notes section to identify the billed phase, scope completed, or next milestone.
