Finance Settings
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.

Finance details for your implementation manager
At the start of your implementation, your implementation manager will need to know how to configure the following options:
Basic Details
You can customise some of the information that is displayed or applied to Invoices and Credit Notes within your accessplanit platform. The table below outlines all functions that are available within this area of Account Finance Options:

Tax Rate (%) | Overrides the tax rate. The default is 20% (Current UK VAT). | 20% |
Invoice Term Days | Defines the number of days before an Invoice being overdue based on the Invoice term type. | 30 |
Invoice Term Type | Defines how the platform calculates an Invoice due date, i.e. being based the start date of the course, or at the end of a course date etc. | After invoice generation / After the course date |

Please note: Tax Exclusivity settings can and will change the way that all of your new and existing invoices are calculated and generated. Please do avoid changing this tax settings too frequently, as this may lead to disruptions in your finances.
