Automatic Debiting
Overview
This setting allows you to configure which day each family is debited on after invoices are created (either manually or automatically).
š” If the Preferred Debit Day is the same as the day of the week that the invoice is generated on, it will take the invoice the SAME DAY!
- Debiting is paused (in their Account) before the invoice is generated
- There are no payment details in their Account
- The invoice is in credit (or less than $1 owing)

The system will automatically debit your invoices from 9am each day. But Monday Invoice Generation will run after midday to coincide with CCS clearing. It is important that you continue to look at your invoices for any errors that may occur from time to time.
Automatic Debit Date On Invoices
š” To stop an invoice from being debited, you can delete the invoice before the status changes to Processing.
Once automatic debiting has been configured, all invoices created (that are not in credit or paused) will have an auto debit date generated in the Paid column. If you want to debit invoices that were created before switching on Auto Debit, you will need to manually debit them or delete and regenerate the invoices.
