Invoices create the policy related receivable and payable amounts for clients, companies, and producers. An invoice transaction can be configured as either Agency Bill, or Direct Bill.
Any invoice can be created using the Express Billing interface, however most Direct Bill invoices are created through either Commission Builder or Commission Download during the monthly direct bill commission statement process.
Contents
Before You Begin
Before you begin, the policy must be entered in the system. All invoice transactions as saved to a policy, specifically to a policy sequence (policy transaction). Each time a policy change occurs, a new policy sequence is added to record the change. For example, when a policy is endorsed, an endorsement transaction is added to the existing policy; when a policy is renewed, a renewal transaction is added to the existing policy.
- For policy invoices, requires Other -> Security System -> AR -> Policy Transaction -> View and Entry.
- For quote invoices, requires Other -> Security System -> AR -> Quoted Transaction -> View and Entry.
Regular Invoice Using Express Billing
For additional invoice entry methods and invoices types, see the section below.
- Load a client on one of the client tabs.
- Select the (+) next to Policies. (To expand the band by default, see: Preferences)
- Left-Click the desired policy number to open Policy Express.
- Select Express Billing in the top toolbar.
- The policy sequence cannot be invoiced if an invoice already exists for that sequence. If the policy sequence is already invoiced, first create a new policy sequence. (See images on right.)
- Verify the Bill Method as either Agency Bill or Direct Bill. (To change the default for the policy company see the Company Profile)
- Choose the correct Invoice Date.
- Select Next to create the first invoice line.
- Enter the Premium Amount. (For values greater than 999.99, the comma is not required)
- Verify or change any of the default values. The transaction, class, company, department and producer will all default from the policy.
- Enter the Agency Commission and Producer Commission if the defaults are not correct. (The Agency Commission will default from the Company Profile. The Producer Commission will default from the Producer Profile.)
- Optionally enter a short Description which will display for the line on the printed invoiced.
- Select Next to add an additional invoice line, such as a fee or tax. An invoice can have a maximum of seven lines.
- If additional lines are created, begin as step #8 above for each additional line.
- Select Finish when done, then Save when prompted.
- Select Finish or Save to finalize the invoice. This action will generate an invoice number, and create all of the general ledger receivables and payables for the invoice.
- Select Print, Email, or Exit.
