Under the billing module, you can create an invoice and create credit notes from invoices.
All created invoices are displayed on this main page. The data column details displayed on the invoicing main page consist of the following:

- Member: the full name of the member being invoiced.
- Due date: the date on which the invoice is due for payment.

HOW DO I CREATE INVOICE(S)?
On the Invoicing main page, there is an option to “Create” an invoice. Click on the "Create" button to create an invoice. Below are the steps:
- Step 1: Create invoice
Specify the invoice due date and the message (in relation to the invoice). Once you are done, use the “Arrow” to navigate to the second step.
- Step 2: Select members to invoice
From the provided list of members, select the number of members you want to invoice. You can choose to invoice all by selecting all (use the “Select All“ button if you want to select all), or you can select a few by manually checking those you want to invoice.
You can also filter the selection page by member status to make your selection from the available list per the status filter.
- Step 3: Invoice fees
After selecting, click on the “Arrow” navigation. Displayed are the available invoice fees to choose from. Select the invoice fee you want to invoice the member(s) for. After selecting, click on the “Arrow” navigation.
You can also filter the selection page by linked type, then make your selection from the available list per the “linked type” filter.
- Step 4: Preview invoice
By clicking on the “Arrow” navigation, you will land on the invoice preview page. On this page, you can preview the invoice and/or exclude the member(s) you do not want to invoice from the invoice list before submitting if you added the member(s) by mistake.
Once you are done previewing and you have excluded the ones you want to exclude, click on the “Submit” button to save the invoice.
Preview
Once you are done previewing and have excluded the ones you want to exclude, click on the “Submit” button to save the invoice. You will receive a confirmation text that the submission was successful. If it was not a success, you will also get a notification text saying that it failed and why it failed.
By clicking “OK” on the pop-up, you will see the below page. If invoices were not created, you will receive a pop-up outlining why the invoices failed to be created.
CREATED INVOICIES
All created invoices are displayed on the “Invoicing” main page. Every created invoice has an action dropdown, which will differ due to the invoice status.
The option drop-down list of draft invoices consists of the following functionalities:
