Setting invoicing defaults + the catalog

Default tax rate, due days, branding, email templates, and your saved line-item catalog.

Updated 2026-04-29

Settings → Invoicing controls everything that auto-applies to new quotes + invoices. Configure once; every new doc inherits these values, with per-doc overrides at creation time.

Defaults

  • Default tax rate — applied to taxable line items unless the doc has a jurisdiction set.
  • Default invoice due days — '15' means due 15 days after sent. Sets the default; each invoice can override.
  • Branding logo — appears on the invoice PDF + customer-facing public link.
  • Branding business address + phone — header info on every invoice email.
  • Invoice email subject + body — customize the email customers receive. Plyrium adds the public link automatically.
  • Reply-to email — where customer replies to invoice emails go (typically your billing address).

Tax jurisdictions

Most contractors charge one rate (state + city/county combined). Set that as your default jurisdiction. If you serve multiple cities with different rates, add each as a separate jurisdiction; per-quote you can pick which applies.

Line-item catalog

Saved services + materials + labor + fees you can pick from the composer. Each entry has:

NameShows up in the picker; also becomes the line description by default.
KindMaterial / Labor / Service / Fee. Drives the P&L revenue breakdown.
Unit priceDefault price; you can override per-quote.
Quantity unitea / hr / sq ft / lin ft / lb / gal — appears next to the qty input.
TaxableSome lines (typically labor in CA) aren't taxable. Tick this off where appropriate.
How to pick the right kind

If the line is parts you bought + marked up, it's 'material'. If it's your time, it's 'labor'. If it's a flat-rate job (covering both), it's 'service'. Trip charge / dispatch fee = 'fee'. Getting these right makes your P&L's revenue breakdown accurate.
