Understanding Invoicing in Facility

Time To Pet Facility makes invoicing your clients extremely easy. In Facility, events are not automatically invoiced, giving you the flexibility to generate an invoice for clients whenever you're ready.

You may be wondering why events are not automatically invoiced in Facility. Not creating an invoice when events are scheduled or approved each time will prevent having to charge a client for multiple invoices. For example, pet parent Alex comes in with Fido at different days and times throughout the week, Monday-Friday. Instead of having an invoice for each time an event is scheduled for Fido, the Facility can choose which events they would like to add to an invoice and choose to invoice Alex at the end of the week.

A great place to view client invoices in Facility is the Client Hub. Here, you can create, edit, and view Invoices for a client:

First up in the Client Hub is the Un-invoiced Events tab for events that are yet to be invoiced:

When: The start date and time for the event.

Service: The scheduled service for the event.

Space: The Space assigned to the event.

Status: The status of the event (Scheduled, Checked In, Checked Out, Cancelled)

Last column: Option to "View" (viewing the events on the Calendar), "Edit" (edit this event)

In the Invoiced Events tab, you can see all events that have been moved to a new or existing invoice:

When: The start date and time for the event.

Service: The scheduled service for the event.

Space: The Space assigned to the event.

Status: The status of the event (Scheduled, Checked In, Checked Out, Cancelled)

Invoice: The invoice for this event.

Last column: Option to "View" (viewing the events on the Calendar), "Edit" (edit this event)

In the Invoices tab, here you can view generated invoices for the client:

Invoice #: The invoice's number.

Due Date: The day this invoice is due.

Date: Date of this invoice.

Total: The total of this invoice.

Balance: The balance due (the balance may differ from the total, i.e., a partial payment was made).

Invoice Status: Status of this invoice (Draft, Paid, Partially Paid, Due, Past Due).

To create an invoice directly after scheduling a client, stay in the pop-up window and click on the Invoiced tab. From here, click the "Move To An Invoice" button:
