ClosedCanceling Suspended Billings

Since, by definition, a 'suspended' billing is not posted, it cannot be voided. A suspended billing that is no longer needed, should be cancelled. To cancel a suspended billing:

  1. Retrieve the Suspended Billing from the Policy form or the User Center.

  2. Click the Invoice Cancel icon.

  3. Click the Cancel & Close button on the Invoice Form Closing form.

ClosedVoiding Future Invoices

A future invoice is one in which the effective date, at the time of data entry, is greater than the Number of Days to Invoice in Advance threshold set in Agency Setup/Accounting Options. Future invoices display in the Customer Register with a zero in the Inv # column and such invoices can be voided. To void a future invoice:

  1. Open the Customer Register and set the View Options date range so that the effective date of the future invoice is included in the display (change the date range to All and click the Apply button).

  2. Expand the policy row containing the future invoice or click Expand All and scroll to the desired row.

  3. Click the Void action button . The Void Invoice form displays.

  4. Make your selections in the Void Date and Installment Options sections. Type in a reason for the void. (Ex: Invoiced to wrong policy).

For future invoices, the Make void date(s) equal original Invoice date(s) option, is a good choice.

  1. If voiding only one row of an installment series, make sure the invoice row you wish to void is highlighted.

  2. Click Post.

  3. The voided future invoice item disappears from the register upon posting.
