Adding Additional Fees to Invoices in the Billing Manager

If you have the need to add additional fees to an invoice rather than adding new charges or modifying existing charges for a specific transaction, you can do this as well. This would typically be done for payment past due fees, per invoice processing fees, and so forth. This process could also be used to add Overdue fees to specific invoices for items returned after the specified due date, but ONLY if Billing is completely set up and in use for all transactions in the module being billed. It is NOT currently possible to bill ONLY for Overdues. On the Invoice Items tab of the Invoice Details form, you may add in additional charges to be applied to the chosen invoice. Add in the amount to be charged, the type of charge is applied, and a brief descriptive note. Then click the Add Item button. This will add the new charge to the chosen invoice.

Once this process is complete, you will likely want to print a new copy of this invoice that reflects the changes. This can be done by clicking the Print Invoice button on the Invoice Details form.

Adding Additional Fees to Multiple Invoices

If you have the need to add additional fees to multiple invoices, you can do this as well. This would typically be done for per invoice processing fees or any other universal fee additions.
