Definition: What is it?

The Billing Account Find Invoices screen displays by default a list of invoices that have been charged to the billing account.

Any invoice displayed here means that its invoice amount has been deducted from the billing account credit limit.For example: If the Billing Account Credit Limit is $100 and the there are 2 invoices displayed with amounts $10 and $25 then the available credit for the billing account will be $75.

What is it used for?

It is used to display a list of invoices that have been charged to the Billing Account. The invoice can be at various statues and there is an option to locate an invoice by status.

It is also used to apply any payments that have been made into the Billing Account to an invoice. A 'Capture' button is displayed next to each invoice displayed that has an amount outstanding. 

Example:

  • Two invoices are charged to a Billing Account (Invoice A $10 and Invoice B $25)
  • A payment of $17 has been paid into the Billing Account
  • If the Capture button is pressed for the invoice A then $10 of the $17 payment will be applied to this invoice and a new payment transaction of $7 will be created and available to apply to a different invoice

To do
 

How do I locate an invoice by status?

Example: To locate an invoice by status

  1. Select the 'Invoices' sub menu
  2. Use the drop down box to select the 'Status Id' for the invoice required
  3. Press the 'Submit' button
  4. A list of invoices with the required status will be displayed

How do I capture a payment for an invoice?

IMPORTANT: In order for this to work a payment needs to have been made to the billing account that has not been completely applied to any other invoices. Payments to a billing account can be done via the 'Payments' sub menu for the billing account or by using Accounting / Payments menu.

Example: To capture a payment for an invoice

  1. Select the 'Invoices' sub menu
  2. Locate the invoice required (NOTE: The 'Amount to Apply' is the same as the 'Total' column)
  3. Press the 'Capture' button  (NOTE: The 'Amount to Apply' is different to the 'Total' column)
  4. The 'Capture' button is no longer displayed next to the invoice and an additional payments transaction will be created for any difference between the invoice total and the amount paid (Eg Invoice Total $100, Payment Amount $125, the new payment transaction amount will be $25)

NOTE: The above example assumes that the payment available will cover the total amount outstanding for the invoice
