Setting up Payment Terms.

Max Invoice Amount

• Marks where an invoice should be divided, when the limit is reached
  • No invoice will be larger than this amount.
  • It will not divide transactions but will move them to a new invoice (if the invoice grows too large).
  • Invoices will be divided by the max amount only after being divided by other selections.

Examples

Using August 2021 for reference.  

Invoicing done in an off-cycle week (where it shows 'Payroll' below), won't change the Invoicing process.  Invoices would be pushed to the next week and will be billed together.  

Example: Bill Cycle = 2

Week 1, invoices are pushed to Week 2

Week 2, invoices for Week 1 and Week 2 are created

Troubleshoot

If it had been changed from Weekly to BiWeekly, you would need to finish the current billing cycle before it would re-calculate to issuing out BiWeekly invoices.

Another issue could be if one department was changed to BiWeekly, but the other(s) haven't been.
