Excel and Word got you started. Here is what changes when your invoices, LUTs, rates and payments live in one place built for exports.
| Spreadsheet / Word template | Invoice Hub | |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice numbering | Typed by hand; duplicates happen | Checked for duplicates when you save |
| LUT on the invoice | Copied from the last invoice | Picked by invoice date, ARN filled in |
| Exchange rate | Whatever someone looked up | Dated rates, on-or-before lookup, source recorded |
| INR value | A formula that can break | Calculated and shown on every invoice |
| Realisation & bank charges | Rarely recorded | Recorded per invoice; deduction and effective rate shown |
| CA register | Rebuilt every month | Always current; CSV, print, CA copies |
| Access control | Whoever has the file | Roles enforced on every action, 2FA, activity log |
| Repeat invoices | Copy, paste, hope | Duplicate and line-item library |
