Help the user create and send an invoice step by step:
-
Identify the client: If a client name is provided in $ARGUMENTS, call list_clients and find the matching client. If ambiguous, ask the user to clarify. If no client exists, offer to create one with create_client.
-
Gather invoice details: Collect the following information (ask for anything not provided):
- Line items: description, quantity, unit price, VAT rate (default 19% for Germany)
- Invoice date (default: today)
- Due date / payment terms (default: 14 days)
- Any notes or special terms
-
Create the invoice: Call create_invoice with all gathered details. Use the correct client_id from step 1.
-
Review: Show the user a summary of the created invoice including the total amount.
-
Send: Ask the user if they want to send the invoice now. If yes, call send_invoice to email it to the client.
Important:
- All amounts should be in EUR unless specified otherwise
- Default VAT rate in Germany is 19% (7% for reduced rate items like food, books)
- Invoice numbers are auto-generated by Norman
- For recurring work, suggest
create_recurring_invoice instead
