==Lock invoices==
Lock invoices to prevent changes once an invoice number is assigned. The items will be removed from "Charges and Payments". When new invoice items are added the system will automatically start a new invoice.
You can activate this function in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT->PREFERENCES.
==Different Invoice Address==
You can set up internal "Invoice Items" which can be added from the control panel, they do not show on the booking page. After they have been set up they are available under "Charges" in a drop-down list in the "Invoice and Charges" tab of the booking.
==OTAs / Channel Collect ==Under SETTINGS-CHANNEL MANAGER you can set whether channel C#collect Collect payments are imported. When you import, the amount you pay to the OTA will be sent, not the amount the guest has paid. The guest has received the bill from OTA, so you do not have to charge the room charge. If you need a different invoice template for certain channels you can set this in the channel manger settings (currently for selected channel only). See the channels help page for details.
== Export/Import Data ==
In REPORTS->CUSTOM REPORTS you can create custom reports which can include invoice number and invoice date, upsell items, tax, VAT, invoice charges and many more.
== Invoicees - separate invoices ==
See [[Invoicees|this help page]] if you are working with agencies, business travelers or repeat guests for whom you need a second invoice.
== Send Invoice via Email ==
If you send Emails with pdf attachment (invoice, booking template) to Alias-Email addresses from channels the cannel might filter the attachment out so it is not delivered to the guest.
== Accounting Software ==
Beds24 integrats with [[Kashflow.com|Kashflow]]. If you want to use another system you can use the data export function (see above) to download data you want to import into your accounting software.
