Charge statements to other companies, and the revenue report

Other Entities on the site get one invoice a period for their charged bookings. The revenue report shows charges, refunds, deposits and damage by facility and month.

The problem it solves

  • The college used the school's auditorium all term, and nobody raised an invoice.
  • Each booking by another Entity becomes its own small invoice, and accounts drown in them.
  • The owner asks what the halls earned last quarter, and the answer takes a week.

How it works

  1. Bookings of other Entities on a facility that charges them are priced like any other, but not paid first.
  2. At the end of the period, accounts staff open Facilities > Billing > Charge Statements. The last month is filled in.
  3. Click Create Invoices. Each pair of selling and booking Entity gets one invoice, with a line for each booking.
  4. Each booking keeps a link to its statement, so it is never invoiced twice.
  5. Open Facilities > Billing > Revenue to see charges, refunds, deposits and damage by facility and month.

Everything it does

Charge Statements

  • Period: From and To, the last calendar month to start with
  • Takes charged bookings of other Entities with an amount, confirmed, in use, done or no-show, starting in the period and not yet on a statement
  • The seller is the facility's owner Entity, else the site's first Entity
  • One line per price line of each booking, labelled with the booking number; the seller's taxes
  • Says so when there is nothing to invoice

Revenue

  • Facility down the side, month across
  • Totals: Total, Refunded, Deposit, Deposit Refunded, Damages Charged
  • As a pivot, a graph or a list; the bookings list also shows each booking's total

Questions

Can a booking be invoiced twice?

No. Once a booking is on a statement it keeps the link and is left out of later statements.

Do other Entities pay online like outside hirers?

No. Their bookings are confirmed without payment and invoiced on the period's statement.

Who can create statements?

Staff with invoicing rights. Facility managers see the revenue report.

Does the revenue report include refunds and damage?

Yes: refunded amounts, deposits, deposits refunded and damage charged, by facility and month. It also counts cancelled bookings' charges, so filter by status.
