The Membership Billing feature provide a facility 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.
