Create a Commission receivable invoice
This article will explain the quick and easy way to create a Commission receivable invoice. Once an invoice is created you can then update its status to track the progression from being a draft right up to it being paid. There are also controls to print or download an invoice as a PDF.
For you to have access to the Invoice tab the event status must be set to a status that includes the Contracted status. Once the event is considered contracted, several tabs and features then become available for the event, including the ability to create invoices.
Select the Invoices tab along the tab toolbar at the top.
Here you can see the five different types of invoices : Client invoices, Supplier invoices, Commission receivable invoices, Commission payable invoices, and Damage deposits - each with their own respective panels.
Under the Commission receivable invoices panel select Create commission invoice.
Complete each field on the template. You can select a pre-made template to use with the Template dropdown. The Supplier field is auto-populated with every Cost that has an associated Commission receivable attached to it. You can select a supplier and then which specific cost you want to invoice for. You are able to select multiple items to invoice for at once.
Once each field has been completed select Create invoice at the bottom of the page.
Once the invoice has been completed you will be directed to the invoice overview page. This displays all relevant information including details about the event, the invoice addresses, each individual cost, and the total amount of the invoice. From here you can manually edit each cost by selecting the green pencil icon on each row. You can also remove specific costs from the invoice by selecting the red X.
Along the top of the invoice you can see the status (defaults to Draft), the Authorise and Delete invoice buttons, as well as the two options to either Download or Print.
Once the invoice has been amended (if necessary) you can select the Authorise button. A dialogue appears that asks if you'd like to set a reminder for a later date. This can be useful as it can prompt you to follow up when an invoice is due, or when it is overdue. Simply select Set a reminder for and the assign the appropriate date, then select Mark as Sent. This will then amend the status to Authorised.
Finally, to change the status of this invoice to Paid, there must be a corresponding payment added for the total amount of the invoice. Once a payment for the full amount of the invoice is added the status is automatically updated to paid.
To add a payment, select Add payment from the Payments panel at the bottom right of the page. Enter in the amount that you have received as payment and the date it was paid and select Add payment. If the amount is for the full outstanding amount you will see the status update to Paid.
Note : You must ensure that the Invoice has the status of Authorised prior to entering in any payment details. You cannot change the status of an invoice from Draft to Paid.
At any point you are able to Void the invoice by selecting the Void invoice button along the top toolbar.
Note : Once an invoice is voided it cannot be changed to any other status. There is a dialogue box which confirms that you want to void an invoice to prevent users from accidentally voiding invoices.
