Invoice Statuses

The status of an invoice changes throughout the billing process to track its progress during the bill run. Below is the list of invoice statuses in the order they will occur in.

  • Open: set when the invoice is first created

  • Pending Tax: set once Invoice Items have been attached to the Open invoice

  • Tax In Progress: set after the invoice has been taxed and invoice item tax entries have been created. At this stage taxes have not been committed to the external tax vendor (if the system is integrated with with an external vendor)

  • Taxed: set after taxes have been committed to an external tax vendor

  • Posted: the invoice and tax summaries have been set

  • Render Pending: this status will only appear if re-rending of the invoice was triggered

  • Render In Progress: this status will only appear if re-rending of the invoice was triggered

  • Render Failed: this status will only appear if re-rending of the invoice was triggered and it failed to re-render

  • Rendered: the invoice has been rendered along with all of the invoice report attachments

  • Delivered: the invoice has been delivered

  • Void Pending: a request has been issued to void the invoice

  • Void In Progress: the invoice is in the process of being voided

  • Void: the invoice has been voided. The ‘voiding’ invoice will start in Posted status

Invoices List

The Invoices listing shows the invoices generated on the account and summary level details (invoice state, invoice number, dates, total, etc.).

...

This tab displays invoice activity such as when the invoice was created, taxed, rendered, delivered or voided. The date of these activities may differ depending on how bill runs are configured. Invoices are created when a bill run is executed with the ‘Run Invoices’ option enabled (when this option is set account transactions will be stamped with an invoice name/number). Invoice rendering occurs when a bill run with the ‘Render Invoices’ option enabled is run, resulting in the invoice being generated on the account and downloadable as a pdf. Delivery occurs when a bill run executes which has been configured with the ‘Deliver Invoices’ setting enabled.

As of LogiSense Billing 10.3 the state of taxation related to the selected invoice will also be shown on the History tab. The possible tax statuses are: 'Tax Pending', 'Tax In Progress' or 'Taxed'.

Voiding an Invoice

Info

Note: only the latest invoice on an account can be voided. Executing a void will cause the system to:

  • create reversed transactions for items on the invoice

  • detach all disbursements applied to the invoice

  • rollback account-package next bill dates and last billed dates

  • create a new invoice with reversed charges on it (note: this new invoice is only created if the invoice being voided has been delivered to the customer)

  • update the account balance

Voiding will not reverse payments.

  1. Select the invoice in the list on the left under the Invoices heading

  2. Under the Invoices heading click the (blue star) icon

  3. On the confirmation dialog click Yes to confirm that the selected invoice should be voided

The existing invoice will be changed to ‘Voided’ status and a ‘Voiding’ invoice will be generated containing the charge reversals related to the voided invoice.
