CM Invoice β€” when you're back at the PC

Mom's familiar tool · Generated Tue Jun 30 2026, 3:16 PM EDT · Worker 🐝 / CM lane

Step 1 β€” do this alone, 20 seconds ZERO RISK

Open Mom's CM sheet β†’
  1. Top menu β†’ CM Admin β†’ Setup / Repair Sheet β†’ let it run (~10 sec).
  2. Look at the Invoice_Entry tab. It now reads in her words: ORDER FOR, Reference, Deposit / Balance, Comments; the 32–52 size grid; yellow = type here, blue/gray = fills itself.
Idempotent β€” safe even if it already ran. Touches no data: her 90 customers + saved invoices are untouched. If the tab looks like her old sheet, Mom can start using it today.

Step 2 β€” with me, ~10 min, the Excel-look polish VERIFIED

Text me "at the PC, go" and I drive your Chrome through it β€” you just watch:

  1. Seed Test customer β†’ build ONE throwaway test invoice.
  2. I screenshot it back to you so you see the polished look + confirm the numbers tie out.
  3. I apply the polish: customer block β†’ top-right, big plain number, white-Excel styling (drop the navy chrome).
  4. Re-verify on the test invoice β†’ Clear Test β†’ then one real invoice in Mom's cadence.
Nothing structural touches a real invoice until it's proven on the throwaway (Rule 10). This is the only part that needs the live sheet β€” which is why it waits for you.

Locked β€” no re-deciding

NumberPlain running number shows on the page; the smart INV-… code is hidden (used only for the PDF filename).
TotalsTotal / Deposit / Balance headline (Subtotal/Discount/Shipping kept small above; Tax hidden).
WordingHer words β€” ORDER FOR, Reference, Total Price.
LayoutCustomer block top-right, white-Excel styling β€” matches her Original CM invoice look.png (Fame #1158).

Mom's cadence β€” so the real invoice matches how she works
