Invoicing Setup Settings

ML Schedules™ Software district users who are assigned the District Admin role have the ability to modify and update the district's Invoicing settings.

To access the Invoicing Setup settings:

1.  Select Settings  Invoicing Setup from the left menu.

The Invoicing Setup page will be displayed. 

2. Complete the following Fields:

Event Invoicing: You have the option to send invoices Automatically upon approval or Manually after the event. 

        Automatically On Approval: If this option is chosen, an invoice is sent automatically as soon as the event is approved. 

        Manually After Event: If this option is chosen, an Invoice must be manually sent.

Send invoice to Billing Office User Only:  This can be used if users want to use their own financial system to invoice

Auto Send Invoice: This can be enabled to send invoices automatically based on the frequency chosen below.

Automatic Invoicing Frequency: Select one of the following Frequencies below.

Require Payment Before Approval: Decide if you would like to receive a payment before the request can be approved.

Enable Sending Estimates: Turning this setting on will enable a button that will allow users to send an estimate before an invoice is sent. 

# Days Invoice Due: This field is where you would indicate how many days out you want the invoice to list the due date for.

From Invoice Sent Date: If this option is chosen, the invoices are due based on when the invoice is sent.

Before First Event Date: If this option is chosen, the invoices are due based on the first event date listed on the invoice.

Application Fee:  If your district has application fees, you can set them up to be applied On Approval. This will automatically send the group an invoice for the application fee once the request is approved.
