Invoices
When invoices are issued
Section titled “When invoices are issued”You do not create invoices by hand. Farava issues one automatically when you:
- activate a subscription — for the first period;
- renew or renew with another plan — for the next period;
- renew on credit — an invoice that stays open until it is paid.
The invoice amount is the plan price at the moment of sale, even if the plan price changes later.
Invoice states
Section titled “Invoice states”| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unpaid | No money has been applied to it yet |
| Partially paid | Part is paid; Outstanding shows what is left |
| Paid | Fully settled |
| Reversed | Cancelled out by a reversing entry |
An invoice paid from existing customer credit (normal activation and renewal) is Paid straight away. Open invoices usually come from renew on credit.
Due dates
Section titled “Due dates”Each invoice has a Due at date from Billing settings: “Payment due after” a number of days from issue. After the due date and the grace period, the unpaid amount becomes Overdue and the customer appears in Receivables.
