Invoices

Numbered invoices can be produced according to a library-specified billing cycle. Invoices list previously uninvoiced fees but do not include unpaid balances or details of unpaid previous invoices.

This is an example of a printed invoice:

 

Invoices are generally grouped according to four categories:

Billing Cycle. Different invoices can be sent out monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, quarterly, and so forth.
BTYPEs. Different BTYPEs can receive different invoices.
Fee Types. Different invoices can be sent for different types of fees assessed.
Amount Threshold. Invoices can be generated when borrowers accrue a specified amount.

For example, monthly invoices might be sent out for interlibrary loan fees and photocopy fees to all BTYPEs when a borrower accrues a $5.00 total of these two fee types. Weekly invoices might be sent out to all BTYPEs for overdue fines when borrowers have accrued $2.50 in fines.

Your system administrator sets up the types of invoices, the BTYPEs to which invoices are sent, the fee types for which invoices are sent, and the amount threshold for each invoice type.

Your library can have as many invoice types as needed.
