Accounting menu: Invoices

Overview

This section (Accounting > Invoices) will show a list of all invoices created for the student record currently loaded in the system. This will also let you view, edit, pay, etc. each invoice recorded in the system, see all the Workflow links below related to invoices.

WARNING

Be Sure to update INVOICING TIME PERIOD (see Edit Configuration Period) PRIOR to adding line items to invoices. This will ensure the correct data is added to the invoice.

NOTE

From time to time something will inevitably go wrong with an invoice.

If invoices are tracked in an external Accounting Package such as MYOB or XERO, it is best practice to cancel the original invoice, make any changes, generate a new invoice and then report them to the Accounting Department to ensure all records are up to date and accurate.
