Closing Invoices
Overview
⚠️ Creating a Closing Invoice will not automatically deactivate the Family!
Closing invoices can be used to generate one or more invoices with a specific amount and reference that doesn't depend on a date range and attendances.
It can be used to generate a Debit and Credit (once paid) in the Family Transactions -OR- just a Credit (to offset an existing debt).
A closing invoice doesn't have to be used only when a family is leaving your service. This feature can also be used to debit end-of-term fees or end-of-year invoices.

Without Credit/Final Invoice Ticked
If the Credit checkbox is not ticked, the invoice will add a Charge (Debit) with the same description what they are paying, so paying the invoice will return them to a zero balance.

With Credit/Final Invoice Ticked
If the Credit checkbox is ticket, the invoice will only add a credit, so they will be paying off existing debt with no new charges added.
