This section details the available options when configuring finance settings.

Account Finance Options allows you to define your Invoicing and Payment Gateway options per training provider. You are able to define your standard invoicing options, and also override some of these for specific customers such as Invoice terms and mandatory P.Os

General Finance Information

Requests

We don't recommend that customers do any of the following tasks, as this can cause issues with auditing:

  • Deleting Invoices

  • Deleting Credit Notes

  • Deleting Payment Gateway or Credit Note Transactions

  • Editing the figures on an Invoice after creation

  • Editing the figures on a Credit Note after creation

The above can lead to incorrect Invoice Statuses, Paid/Outstanding amounts, etc.

However, we can complete these tasks if required by the customer and if we know the reason why the customer has made the request.

We should also outline the consequences of these changes, such as workflows sending, being unable to audit the invoice correctly, status changes, etc.

If the customer has requested the above changes due to a process issue and not due to human error, this ticket should be used as an exercise to show the customer alternative processes or to educate on the correct methods.
