Accounts Summary

The Accounts Summary is used to:

  • View payments that have been made against invoices.
  • View value of booking vs value of invoices raised vs value of cash received.
  • Issue invoice(s) to the agent/client for the booking.
  • Apply Credit Notes to invoices that have been issued.

NOTE:  

  • A Security setting can be enabled that makes it possible to issue cash receipts at the same time invoice transactions are raised. This receipting procedure is discussed under Create an Invoice (Tab 3 - Auto Receipt).
  • If the booking status does not allow invoicing, then it will need to be changed to a booking status that does allow invoicing, as discussed in General Setup.
Any service that has an Optional Service Status (where the setting for Include in Booking Total is not set), will not be included in the generation of an invoice.

View Accounts Summary

  1. Search for and retrieve a booking to work with. If this hasn't been done already, see Retrieve an Existing Quote/Booking.
  2. From the Accounts Summary, you can create a new invoice, select an existing invoice and (a) apply a credit note to all or part of it or (b), edit the invoice (provided it is not in a closed accounting period).

  3. To edit an existing transaction, click it to open it.

    Transactions can only be edited if they are in an open accounting period.
    Dependent on system settings, a warning may display advising that the agent's credit limit has been exceeded. Again, dependent on settings, completion of the invoice could be denied. These settings are user company specific.
  4. Continue with Creating Invoices for detailed steps on creating and viewing invoices.
