Quote builds itself from the inspection. No retyping.
Clean handoff to Xero and MYOB, not a second ledger.
Approved work drafts into GST-aware invoices that finalise as the numbered record of sale, with a Xero/MYOB bridge boundary.
Openhood keeps invoices tied to approved work. An invoice drafts without a number, then finalises as the record of sale, assigning the per-organisation invoice number, locking and snapshotting the document, and queuing the accounting push. Invoices carry grouped job-card lines, work-carried-out descriptions, GST-aware totals, partial payments with method and source capture, and SMS, email, or print-to-pay sending, with an accounting adapter path toward Xero or MYOB.
Less double entry. More clean handoff.

What Openhood does
- Creates invoices from approved work, takes partial payments, and sends by SMS, email, or print-to-pay without rebuilding the job elsewhere.
- Gets a clean record of sale: drafts stay editable, finalising assigns the number and snapshots the document for the books.
- Receives a clear, numbered invoice that matches the work they authorised, payable in parts.
What it doesn’t do
- Openhood isn't your general ledger, BAS tool, or books-of-record replacement.
- Invoices reflect approved items only; the full repair-order report stays a separate artifact.

What is Invoices and Accounting Handoff in Openhood?
Openhood keeps invoices tied to approved work. An invoice drafts without a number, then finalises as the record of sale, assigning the per-organisation invoice number, locking and snapshotting the document, and queuing the accounting push. Invoices carry grouped job-card lines, work-carried-out descriptions, GST-aware totals, partial payments with method and source capture, and SMS, email, or print-to-pay sending, with an accounting adapter path toward Xero or MYOB.
What does Invoices and Accounting Handoff replace?
It replaces double entry with clean handoff.
