Services Catalog
Store your recurring services — consultations, installations, subscriptions, labour charges — in a reusable catalog and add them as line items on any estimate or invoice without re-typing.
Services vs. Items
OjaSuite has two separate catalogs for things you sell:
| Catalog | Best for | Stock tracked? |
| Items |
Physical goods or inventory-tracked products |
Yes — quantity decreases on each sale |
| Services |
Intangible or recurring services billed by rate (e.g. consulting, maintenance, subscriptions) |
No |
Both can appear as line items on the same estimate or invoice.
Adding a Service
- Navigate to Services → New Service.
- Enter a Service Name (e.g. "Monthly Retainer", "On-site Installation").
- Add an optional Description — this text appears on the printed estimate or invoice line.
- Set the Default Rate. This is pre-filled when you add the service as a line item, but you can override it on any individual document.
- Click Save Service.
Editing and Deleting Services
From the Services list, click the edit icon next to any service to update its name, description, or rate. To remove a service, click the delete icon and confirm. Deleting a service does not affect existing estimates or invoices that already contain it.
Adding a Service Line to an Estimate or Invoice
- Open a new or existing Estimate or Invoice.
- Below the line items table, click Add Service Line.
- A dropdown appears listing all services in your catalog. Select one.
- The service name, description, and default rate are filled in automatically. Adjust the rate or add a note if needed.
- Set the quantity and save the document as normal.
Service lines are labelled with a Service badge on the printed estimate or invoice so they are easy to identify alongside product lines.
Mixing Items and Services
A single estimate or invoice can contain any combination of:
- Saved inventory items (selected from the item autocomplete)
- Catalog services (added via the Add Service Line button)
- Custom / ad-hoc lines (typed in directly with no catalog entry)
All three types are summed into the same subtotal, tax, and total calculations.
Tip: If you charge a fixed rate for a service but adjust it on individual jobs, add the service to the catalog with the standard rate. When adding it as a line item, just overwrite the rate for that specific document — the catalog default is not affected.
