=Functionality=
By default every booking (or group booking) has one invoice. This function allows you to assign some or all of the invoice items to a specific invoicee or create multiple invoices per booking.
For example:
*To issue a second invoice with a new invoice number i.E. for a refund
*Guests making multiple and or repeat bookings.
*To manage bookings in multiple currencies.
=How it works:=
== Create invoicees==
*Give the invoicee a name.
*Set "Enabled"= "Yes" or "Yes with booking page"
*You can assign one of the invoice templates you have set up in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) GUEST MANAGEMENT->INVOICING to be used for this invoicee.
*A code is optional for example if you need this for an accounting system.
*You can set up have upto 8 invoicee templates fields to insert address, tax number or other information into the invoice template.
If you use sub accounts you can choose to make invoicees available in sub accounts.
== Delete invoicees==
For technical reasons an invoicee cannot be deleted. However, you can set "Enabled" = "No" which has the same effect.
== Assign invoice items either to the guest or an invoicee==

== Online bookings ==
An example link to your booking page could be in this format
http://www.beds24.com/booking2.php?p== Assign invoice items either to the guest or an invoicee==ropidpropid=13437&invoicee=3
When a guest clicks this link, the charges will automatically assign to invoicee 3.
== Channel bookings ==
If you need a different invoice template for the bookings from a certain channel enter the ID number of the invoicee in the channel manager settings for the channel so all incoming bookings from the channel will be assigned to this invoicee (note that this does not change existing bookings).

For example: if you want Invoicee 1234 to only apply to Channel collect bookings, specify it like this: C1234
