What to leave off the invoice

The PDF is for the client who will wire the money. Leave off your local-currency figure, internal notes, and a second account.

Sample commercial invoice, with the bank account on the page.

No second total

The local-currency amount on your dashboard is not the amount due. Printing it next to the wire amount gives the client two numbers.

No internal notes

Cost, margin, and the argument about the discount stay in your own records. The invoice lists the agreed work and the agreed price.

No spare account

One currency, one account. A backup account in another currency does not belong on that PDF.
