When Billing is enabled in Penelope all Funders have an Account Information section located on the Funders page. By clicking on the Balance amount (where the currency symbol is) in the Account Information section you will be taken to the Funder Account Summary Page.
This Funder Account page contains information about the status of the Funder’s account including total amounts invoiced, payments, credits, debits, returns, pending amounts and outstanding balance.
Generate Invoice
When generating an invoice from the Funder Account page you will not be able to change the Funder (e.g. you can only generate an invoice for the Funder Account you are currently viewing) and some of the usual criteria options may not be available.
To ensure you can generate an invoice successfully from the Funder Account page it is important to ensure any Service Events you want to invoice have been resolved (e.g. attendance has been marked) and reviewed (if applicable).
