This chapter describes how to invoice and post orders for
membership dues. This includes
initiation fees, recurring dues, renewals, and other charges. Membership Billing provides the option of
creating and sending electronic invoices by email or printing the invoices and
sending by postal mail or some other method.
When payment is required at the time of membership application, an
invoice is automatically created by the system.
The Membership Billing Feature tracks the periods that have been
invoiced and will not create new invoices for previously billed periods. It will however, allow re-printing of
previously printed invoices. See the chapter
titled Membership Features in Detail
for additional information.
The Membership Billing feature benefits include:
- Automated creation of invoices for selected
period.
- Ability to create Electronic invoices
and email them directly to customers.
