Steps

  1. Open Accounting → Invoices to search and filter every invoice; Unpaid invoices lists only what is still due.

    The list can be printed (Print A4, Receipt 80 mm) and has bulk Reverse unpaid.

  2. Open one invoice. The page shows lines, the Payments table (Received, How, By, Amount, Receipt) and the subscriber card.

    Buttons: Receive payment, Receipt (80 mm), More and Print / Save PDF.

  3. To collect money click Receive payment, enter Amount, pick Paid by (Cash, Bank transfer, or From the prepaid balance), optionally Print a receipt (80 mm), and click Receive.

    Less than due leaves the rest due; more than due puts the extra on the prepaid balance.

  4. To make a custom bill (installation, a router, a visit) click New invoice on the subscriber's More menu, or open /invoices/new. Choose Invoice type (Invoice or Invoice and subtract the balance), the Subscriber, add Lines with Qty and Price each (+ Add line), choose Paid (Later (leave it due), Cash now, Bank now), and click Make invoice.

    Add the package price as a line adds a line without renewing the subscriber.

  5. To take an invoice back open it → More → Reverse invoice, enter Why, choose what happens to cash or bank money paid on it ('Keep it as the customer's prepaid balance' or Give it back (it leaves the cash book or bank)) and click Reverse invoice.

    Only the newest renewal can be reversed; its days are taken back.

What saRa does

Payments are posted to the ledger and, for cash, to the cash book. A reversal gives money back where it came from: a partner's wallet gets its cost back (partners above give back their margins), a prepaid card works again, the prepaid balance gets its money back and online payments go to the balance. If the renewal was made with a staff balance, the staff balance is refunded.

Good to know

  • Each invoice has a printable A4 sheet and an 80 mm receipt.
  • Every action is in the activity log (Logs and reports → Activity log).
