Consolidated Invoice
With the "Consolidated Invoice" function in AbaNinja, you can combine multiple invoice drafts addressed to the same recipient into a single consolidated invoice. This is particularly useful when a customer has received several services or deliveries within a period and you want to bill them all together. The consolidated invoice receives its own reference number and combines all positions, notes, and attachments of the original invoices. In the consolidated invoice, it is clear from which original document each position originates.
Benefits
- You reduce the administrative effort for yourself and your customers, as only one invoice needs to be checked and paid.
- The clarity for both sides is increased.
- All individual invoices are automatically marked with the status "Consolidated" and moved to the "Done" section as soon as the consolidated invoice is created.
Tips and hints
- Prerequisite: The invoices to be consolidated must be in the "Draft" status and addressed to the same address. Imported invoices cannot be consolidated.
- A consolidated invoice that has already been created cannot be supplemented with further documents afterwards. If you still want to do this, you must first dissolve the consolidated invoice. All changes to the consolidated invoice are discarded and the original documents are restored.
- The consolidated invoice can be further processed, supplemented, and sent like any other invoice.
- As long as the consolidated invoice has not been sent (status "Sent"), it can be dissolved at any time.
- In the list view, you can mark several invoice drafts and then select the action "Create Consolidated Invoice". Make sure that all selected invoices meet the above requirements - otherwise the function is not available.
- The function is particularly helpful for recurring services or projects with several partial invoices to the same customer.
Tip: Use the consolidated invoice to offer your customer better service and simplify your own accounting. Check before creating whether all desired invoices are correctly addressed and in the "Draft" status.
