Payments/partial payments

Path: Billing CRM/ Invoices (please select the requested Invoice) / Payments

Image Removed

Under Image Removed you can add partial payments to existing invoices and record them, or settle them with the remaining amount.
In this case, the invoice is also automatically marked as paid.

The invoice in the table view now looks as follows (in this example, only a partial amount was entered for demonstration purposes - so the invoice is still open, so there is no payment date for the entire invoice).

If you need information about the partial payment, you can find it under the Image Removed:

Note
  • After creating a partial payment you will always see the - currently - open total amount for the invoice under the column 'Amount'.
  • If you enter the remaining amount of an invoice with a partial payment, it will automatically be marked as paid.

Optionally, you can also mark the invoice as paid immediately. All you have to do is press the button Image Removed. This is again intended for irrecoverable payments, but has the same effect as the (partial) payment.

Annual accounts / Processes

...

The settlements (also called prescriptions) are divided into 3 main tasks:
Billing category, billing templates, and finally the billing process itself.

Fiscal year

Path. POS / Settings / Seller → choose the desired Seller → check the Seller State Tab

Image Removed

Here you have the option to adjust /change the Fiscal year manually as well as the reminder number and delivery note number.

Warning
titleChange of the fiscal year

Since the golf season usually does not last from 1.1. to 31.12. of the year, the new financial year must be activated manually so that the changeover takes place.

With the turn of the year, the billing date changeover does not happen automatically and is the responsibility of the golf club to change the billing date!

For example, if you close the club in October and open again in March, you can still generate invoices with the past Fiscal year. After you have created all the invoices for the past year, you can now "advance the fiscal year".

Please note that this process must be carried out per seller. (Each seller has its own seller state = fiscal year).

As soon as you "advance the fiscal year", the number generators will be reset. If this is not desired, you can "adjust" the last invoice number.

Billing categories

...

However, as soon as you enter a (already existing) billing category, all items with exactly this billing category are used and all other items are ignored

(Path: Club management / managed Golfclubs / Tab: Billing Templates ) - ATTENTION :You will need the authorization.

Depending on the ongoing year, you may have to adjust the "last billed per" date. The last day of the current year is automatically stored here.

Annual accounts - what you still have to do

Warning
titleTO DO LIST

Before this process is started, the following must be checked and ensured:

  • Fiscal year - Path. POS / Settings / Seller 
  • Content of the billing templates: e.g. prices and number of items correct?
  • Are your items assigned to the correct seller? e.g. for the splitting of Golfclub and Gmbh.
  • Payment method stored? (Mandatory field in the 'Invoice template' tab) This can be overwritten afterwards (when entering from the payment receipt)
  • Check the price rules for the articles. (Check individual prices like discounts etc)
  • Master data of the customer: Customer information must be kept up-to-date e.g. is an address stored as billing address? Are there any double entries? Spelling errors?
  • Other payment recipients: e.g. company address should be on the customer's invoice. Here an additional recipient must be deposited (this must be deposited with the invoice address. Exact procedure under this Link
  • Group settlements: Are there any activated? If yes, please check whether the billing is set (who pays for whom? Is the selection box with group billing activated?).
  • Last billing date: The last day for which the customer has already been billed is specified here (e.g. you want to bill for 2020 (if you only bill once a year), then you must enter 31.12.2019. 
  • For the individual positions, we again specify the 1st day for which the customer must pay (e.g. you want to bill for the year 2030 (if you only bill once a year), then you must specify 01.01.2030. Here the 'Last billed per' is automatically adjusted. With the individual positions also still the period and the number of the article are indicated.
  • If information such as salutation, name, address, postal code, country is missing, it will also be missing later on the invoices.
  • Period of articles correct? With 'Once' please pay attention to the expiration date! if this is not set, the article will be used again in the next invoice!
Note
titleStored period for the articles to be settled

If you have entered 'once only' for your articles in the period, please check the expiration date (set automatically if you have already invoiced) before creating the invoice. Specified key date = expiration date).

This is a necessary specification so that the system remembers whether the respective article was already charged or not!

Note
titleLet us help you with filters!

As soon as you start to filter - according to certain criteria - you make your task much easier.

For example, if you want to know which customers have an incorrect key date (key date does not apply = no invoice is created), you can display these customers immediately:

Info
titleCan I have the templates created automatically? How can I do this myself?

Under Clubs - My Golfclub#Invoice Templates you will find a description of how to create the automated process (this is necessary once).

The individual invoices are initially only provided with items in which the current status of the customer is also stored (incorrect data such as salutation, address incorrect, lead to the fact that the invoice must now be issued again). Now you can use these settings to start generating the invoices. You trigger this directly in the invoice overview (= you are now finished in the Collective Invoices/Processes area)the Invoice):

Yearly billing

Path: Invoices / Periodic billing / Billing categories / Billing category list

Image Added


The exact name here is the billing category. This is used to enable different payment periods for the same salesperson.
This means, for example, that you can combine or merge different member types by defining the same billing category. This means that you only need to enter the desired category during the invoicing.

Warning
titleEffects of the billing category

All other articles that do not have a billing category or have a different billing category are not taken into account.

You can also store it for existing articles for which you have not yet made an entry in this respect. By simply editing the article, you can define the billing category. More on this under  ProductManagement-MerchandiseManagement-Productoverview/Editproduct

Billing categories


The billing category is a selection that you can assign to an article on the invoice template. This makes it possible to split the automated process in advance. This means that a specific group of customers can be billed or excluded. If this field is not defined (during an invoicing), all articles with and without invoicing category will be invoiced.

However, as soon as you enter a (already existing) billing category, all items with exactly this billing category are used and all other items are ignored
