# Draft invoice

Tell the assistant who to bill and for what, and it builds a real invoice in Well from the details you give it, then shows you the whole thing to check first. Once you confirm, it renders the invoice as a PDF and attaches that document to the invoice record, so you have paperwork ready to hand over. It never guesses a price, a tax id, or a due date. This is the one skill that writes data instead of reporting on it, so nothing is created until you say yes.

This skill writes data rather than only reporting on it. It shows you what it will do, and changes nothing until you confirm.

Here is the draft: Acme Corp, €2,500 for consulting, due in 30 days on 28 Aug. Issuer is your own company, VAT from their saved record. Nothing is created until you confirm. Once you do, Well creates the invoice and attaches a print-ready PDF to the record.

## Frequently asked questions

- **Can it invent an amount or a due date?**  
No. Every field comes from what you supplied or from a saved company record. If something is missing it asks rather than filling a plausible value.

- **Does it send the invoice to the client?**  
No. It creates the record and attaches a PDF to it. Sending either one to the client is still a separate, deliberate step you take yourself.

- **Does the PDF follow my own invoice numbering?**  
Well has no invoice-numbering sequence of its own. The PDF uses the reference you supply, so your existing numbering stays yours.

- **What if the client is already in Well?**  
It offers to reuse their saved details, with your confirmation, so you are not retyping a tax id you already have on file.
