Not everything we are paid for is a package. Somebody asks whether their
data can be moved into Nextcloud; we look at it, we say what it costs, we
do it. That is a real invoice with no order and no contract behind it,
and the only way to produce one was to write it somewhere else — which
puts it outside the series. A numbered series with a document missing
from it is worth nothing at an audit.
So it goes through the same door as every other invoice:
IssueInvoice::forService() draws from the same series and therefore the
same consecutive number, applies the same TaxTreatment (a verified
business in another member state gets its reverse charge and the note
that makes a zero-rated document lawful), freezes the same immutable
snapshot and dispatches the same archive jobs.
The page under Rechnungen writes what the operator typed and nothing
else. Amounts are in euro because it is a form — 12,95 becomes 1295 by
round(), not by a cast that would make it 1294 — and quantities go to a
thousandth because hours are billed in quarters. The total beside the
lines is the same InvoiceMath the document uses; a preview doing its own
arithmetic would be a second answer, and the first one anybody notices
differs is on a document that cannot be changed. There is no draft: a
"save as draft" that draws a number is an issued invoice with a friendlier
name.
The website's buy buttons go to the sign-in now, not to /order. Booking
belongs in the panel, where the account exists and its address has been
confirmed — which matters because that address is where the finished
cloud's credentials are sent. Sending an anonymous visitor at a page
behind auth worked, but only via a middleware bounce off a page they
never asked for.
