Typical invoice line items in metalwork
Metalwork invoices separate workshop fabrication (lm, pcs) from installation and fixing (flat rate or hours). Name material and finish in the item (galvanized, powder-coated, stainless) — it justifies the price. For installation work on buildings between businesses, reverse charge may apply.
E-invoicing & public contracts
