Processes in AR System

Invoice Customer

The "Invoice Customer" screen provides for comprehensive invoice management:

  2. Recurring invoices can also be automatically generated and tracked through the "Recurring Invoice" screen. This feature enables the system to create periodic invoices based on predefined schedules, reducing manual effort and ensuring accurate billing for recurring services or products.

  3. Manually: Additionally, invoices can be entered manually on an ad-hoc basis. This option allows for the flexibility to handle unique or one-time invoicing scenarios that may not be captured through automated processes.

It is highly recommended to import the original or imaged invoices when entering the bill information. This practice facilitates easy reference and provides necessary documentation during audits or when addressing inquiries related to the bill. By maintaining a comprehensive record of bills, including the original or imaged bill, organizations can enhance transparency, compliance, and overall financial management.

The "Customer Payment" screen also provides an option to enter a prepayment received from a customer without an associated invoice. By pressing the "NEW" button on this screen, you can enter the details of the prepayment. The prepaid balance for the customer will be updated and displayed every time the customer is selected.
