[kwlug-disc] Android question

[B. S.]

Google sheets, as mentioned, is probably the correct answer, for this moment.

Given the newness of the solution for this instance, a spreadsheet will give you max flexibility as you work out what you need / want / works best for you. Let's you take a copy of the sheet, munge an play with it, along the way. e.g. 1st row labels, 2nd row total, just keep adding rows and watch the total go up. Should be able to summarize (pivot table?) by client id then mail merge out to annual notes ('publish'?). Keeps versions, so you can go back upon a miskey.

I'd guess there are sheet templates that will be useful for this. Go addons / get addons, once in a sheet. Quick search for invoice gave an immediate hit of 'BillMyClients'. googling 'google docs sheets templates' got me 
https://drive.google.com/templates?type=spreadsheets&&ddrp=1# 

Perhaps the way to think about this is not play.google.com, but (Chrome) apps.google.com.
