Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about invoices, email delivery, customers, and recurring billing.

How do I add a customer's address?
Go to Customers → Add Customer. Street address, postbox, postal code, city, and country are all separate fields, so an international address never has to be crammed into one line. Postbox and country are optional.
What currencies and languages are supported for invoices?
DKK, USD, and EUR for invoicing, and Dansk or English for invoice/credit-note documents. Each customer has their own default language and currency, which you can override per invoice.
Can my bookkeeper automatically receive every invoice I send?

Yes. Open Settings and use the visible Email & Accounting card, or go directly to Settings → Accounting Copy. Enter the bookkeeper’s email address and enable the optional accounting-copy setting.

When you send an invoice, STRAKS sends two separate messages: the normal invoice email to the customer and a clearly labelled accounting copy to the bookkeeper with the same PDF attached. Because the messages are separate, the customer cannot see the bookkeeper’s address and the bookkeeper is not included in the customer’s email conversation.

  • The feature is off by default and can be disabled at any time.
  • It applies only to invoice emails sent after it is enabled; old emails are not forwarded automatically.
  • The tenant is charged for one invoice-email action only. The copy does not use another monthly allowance or another 50 credits.
  • Resend processes the customer and bookkeeper as two separate deliveries behind the scenes.
  • If the accounting copy fails or bounces, the customer invoice remains sent and keeps its own delivery status.

The current version sends accounting copies for invoice emails only. Credit notes and reminders are not copied unless STRAKS adds separate options for them later.

How do recurring monthly service descriptions work?

A reusable service can be saved with placeholders instead of a fixed month name, for example:

Rengøring for {{billing_month}} {{billing_year}}

When you pick that service on an invoice, or when a recurring draft is generated, STRAKS Invoice replaces the placeholders using that invoice's own issue date and its selected billing period (Previous month, Current month, or Next month) — never today’s date on the server, and never the date of any other invoice.

Example A — Current month
Invoice date19 July 2026
Billing periodCurrent month
Stored templateRengøring for {{billing_month}} {{billing_year}}
Invoice lineRengøring for juli 2026

The invoice covers work performed during July.

Example B — Previous month
Invoice date1 August 2026
Billing periodPrevious month
Stored templateRengøring for {{billing_month}} {{billing_year}}
Invoice lineRengøring for juli 2026

The invoice is created in August but covers work performed during July.

Example C — Next month
Invoice date20 July 2026
Billing periodNext month
Stored templateRengøring for {{billing_month}} {{billing_year}}
Invoice lineRengøring for august 2026

The customer is being invoiced in advance for August.

  • Current month — the month containing the invoice date.
  • Previous month — one month before the invoice date.
  • Next month — one month after the invoice date.
  • The saved service template is never changed — it stays reusable for next month too.
  • Each generated invoice stores its resolved wording permanently.
  • Historical invoices never change later, even if you edit the service or re-open an old invoice.
Visual example
INVOICE 26001
Date: 1 August 2026
Billing period: Previous month
Example resolved invoice line for a recurring service
DescriptionAmount

Template — saved on the reusable service
Rengøring for {{billing_month}} {{billing_year}}
Resolved invoice line — this example

You can try this yourself on the new invoice page — pick a service with placeholders in its name, then change the billing period next to Repeat.
