Worksheet document

Learn how to create a new worksheet in Logzi: header, type, items, signed status changes, saving, closing, and creating an invoice or delivery note from it.

Function overview

On this page you create a new Worksheet document or edit an existing one. A worksheet documents what work or service you have carried out for a partner — classified by type, with items, and confirmed by signed status changes.

  • Header and type: partner, performance date, the Type of the worksheet, currency and (for a foreign currency) the exchange rate.
  • Items: the materials used and services performed for the job, with quantity, VAT rate and price.
  • Status changes: signed entries recording when and with whose confirmation the work was completed.
  • Comments and classification: the Customer comment, the Internal comment, and on the Settings tab the Billing address, Project, Job number and Department number.
  • Related items: Related documents, Tasks, Files, Custom fields.
  • Actions: save, close, delete, download, and the Document management menu, with which you can create an invoice, delivery note, warranty letter or customer quote from the closed worksheet.

The possible states of Worksheet documents are: Draft, Closed, Cancellation, Cancelled. A new worksheet is created in Draft state and can be edited; from closing onwards it can no longer be modified.

Choose a worksheet when the work or service performed must be documented by type, with a signed confirmation. If you need a financial document, you can create an invoice from the closed worksheet; if only the handover of goods must be recorded, a delivery note; and for warranty a warranty letter.

2. Filling in the header

  • The Document number, Status and Document date fields are filled in by the system; you cannot change them.
  • Enter the partner in Partner company name; based on it you can also choose from the Partner contact person and Partner address lists.
  • Choose the Type of the worksheet. The list of types is set by your company under Main menu / Settings / System settings / Worksheet type.
  • Enter the Performance date and the currency in the Currency field. If the currency differs from the base currency of the company, the Exchange rate field also appears.

3. Adding items

On the Items tab, the New button adds a new item; Open opens the selected item and Delete removes it. Quick add and Product search help you add products that already exist quickly, and Add-ons and alternatives offers the add-ons and alternatives belonging to a product. The summary row at the bottom of the table shows the totals of Net value, VAT value and Gross value.

The New button opens a window with two tabs: on the Properties tab you find the data of the item, on the Warehousing master data tab the Site. The Add button saves the item, Add and new product starts creating a new product after saving, New product, Product card and Product search are quick product-related actions, and the Identifiers button manages the identifiers of the item (e.g. serial numbers).

The Status changes tab is a log of signed entries: each row shows when and with whose signature the work was completed. You add a new row with the button of the tab, which opens a window.

In the window fill in the Comment field (optional), the Signer's name and Performance date fields (required), then draw the signature in the Signature field with a finger, mouse or pen. The Add button adds the entry to the list, the Close button closes the window. The signature cannot be modified after saving. Status changes do not change the Status of the worksheet: that depends on closing and deleting.

On the Customer comment and Internal comment tabs you can enter free text. On the Settings tab the Billing address is required, and you can also enter the Project, Job number and Department number. The Related documents tab shows further documents belonging to the worksheet, the Tasks tab the tasks created for it, the Files tab the attached files, and the Custom fields tab the own fields of your company.

6. Saving, closing and deleting

On the Actions tab the Save button saves the worksheet as a draft; in the dropdown menu, Save and close saves and closes it in one step. The Close button finalizes the worksheet (the Close and print and Close and download options of the dropdown menu also produce the printout right after closing). Delete puts the worksheet into Cancelled state, and Delete and copy also creates a copy next to it.

7. Download, document management and history

  • Download: as CSV, XLSX, PDF and PDF preview.
  • Document management: from a closed worksheet Invoicing, Delivery note, Warranty letter or Quote sent to customer; Cloning starts a new worksheet with the current data. The document created this way opens pre-filled in the editor of the target document.
  • History: shows the history related to the worksheet.

8. Additional functions

On the Additional functions tab you can view the Sent items, send a New email, create a New product and a New partner, create a New task and open the Partner card. On the View and layout tab you can customize the page with the Interface and behavior and Columns settings.

Tip


If you do recurring work for the same partner, do not fill in the whole worksheet again: copy the existing worksheet with Document management / Cloning and only update the date, the items and the signed status changes. Set up the Type list in advance under System settings, so that you do not have to add it in the middle of your work.

If you want to search, filter, close or manage the worksheets you have already created in bulk, see the Worksheet list guide.

Frequently asked questions

Type is a required field whose values are created by your company. If the list is empty, add a type under Main menu / Settings / System settings / Worksheet type. Before saving, also check the other required fields: Partner company name, Performance date, Currency, and on the Settings tab the Billing address.

No, the entries on the Status changes tab only keep a log of signed confirmations and do not affect the Status of the worksheet. The signature can no longer be modified after saving; if you made a mistake, correct the entry before saving.
