Invoices can be marked as "sent" or "unsent", and they can be marked as "paid" and "unpaid" to facilitate tracking payments.
For convenience, you can easily batch print groups of invoices. OASIS
will use htmldoc
(your administrator did install it,
right?) to convert the invoices from HTML to PDF for one-step printing.
The first step is to generate invoices. Enter the beginning and end of the invoicing period and click "Generate Invoices". Any campaigns which have already been invoiced for any portion of this billing period will not get new invoices. It is imperative that your billing periods are consistent and do not overlap at all, or you may have a disaster on your hands as invoices are not generated properly for all campaigns.
You will see a list of all of the invoices that are generated. To print these out, or to batch print them, click on "Back to the main invoicing menu" to go back to the main invoicing menu.
You can view all unsent invoices. Click on an invoice number to view it and/or print it.
Clicking "Batch Print" will generate a PDF of all checked invoices.
Clicking "Mark as Sent" will mark all checked invoices as sent. At this point, you'd have to go to the "View unpaid invoices" to see them again.
You can view all unpaid invoices. Click on an invoice number to view it and/or print it.
Clicking "Batch Print" will generate a PDF of all checked invoices.
Clicking "Mark as Paid" will mark all checked invoices as paid. At this point, only an administrator would be able to access the invoices (and then only by digging through the database).
