Automatic Invoices

Overview

💡 Auto Invoices only generates Invoices. You need to set up Auto Debiting to ensure that invoices are debited automatically

This feature allows you to automatically generate invoices on a specific date (for a specific period) and will repeat every one to four weeks (depending on your configurations) until deactivated. You can set up Families in Bulk or Individually on different billing cycles.

Setup Steps

Step 1. Update Configuration

💻 Billing > Family Accounts > Billing Structure (tab)

  1. Check the option 'System to Automatically Create Invoices'
  2. Click Update Billing Structure

Step 2. Bulk Apply Billing Cycles

💻 Billing > Family Accounts > Set up Billing Dates (tab)

  1. Select the Families (hold Ctrl/Command or Shift to select multiple/range) or Family Tags
  2. Select the Next Billing Date - the first/next day invoices will be generated
  3. Select the Period Starting - the start date of the invoice (must be a Monday!)
  4. Select # of weeks - determines the length and frequency of the invoice
  5. Click 'Bulk Update Automatic Billing' - once applied, the family accounts will have a button with the next cycle dates

💡 In the above example, the account is configured to generate invoices on a Monday (the 14th) for 2 weeks in the future (the 28th) for 1 week.  Because the number of weeks is 1, the invoice period will be Monday 28th August - Sunday 3rd September and the cycle will repeat weekly.

  • The 'Next Billing Date' can occur on any day of the week (Monday - Friday), but the 'Period Starting' must always be on a Monday
  • If you want to invoice Fortnightly, the number of weeks should be 2 (which would generate an invoice period Monday 28th August - Sunday 10th September)

Step 3. Apply Individual Billing Cycles

💡 You will need to complete this step for all new families that enroll after setting up automatic invoices!

💻 Billing > Family Accounts

  1. Click on an account name
  2. Select the Next Billing Date - the first/next day invoices will be generated
  3. Select the Period Starting - the start date of the invoice (must be a Monday!)
  4. Select # of weeks - determines the length and frequency of the invoice
  5. Click 'Update Account'
