hmtoggle_arrow1Invoice/Receipt Setup
1.Next Invoice # and Next Receipt #: Enter the number with which you want to begin numbering invoices and receipts.  If you already have a system in place, enter the next number in the sequence.  If you do not, enter the number 1.
2.Prefix: Enter the prefix for invoices and receipts (usually I for Invoice and R for Receipt).
3.Length: Enter the number of characters – including the prefix – that EventPro Planner will use to generate invoices or receipts. For example, I0015 would be invoice number 15 using five characters. I00015 would be the same invoice number using six characters.
4.Invoice Due (Days): Enter the default number of days within which invoices are due.
5.Include No Charge Items: Certain items may be available to your customers at no charge. If you want these no-charge items to appear in invoices by default, check this box.
hmtoggle_arrow1Thresholds
1.If you have rounding errors, which will usually only occur with upgraded data, you can set the thresholds so that a certain minimum figure remaining to be paid or allocated will be ignored.
2.Enter numbers in the Fully Paid and Fully Allocated fields to indicate that anything less than that amount will be treated as 0.  For example, if you set the Fully Paid threshold at .01, anything less than a cent owing will be treated as a 0 balance and the invoice will be considered fully paid (not outstanding).
hmtoggle_arrow1Fiscal Setup

Choose the Year End Month from the drop-down list.

hmtoggle_arrow1Default Account/Departments
1.From the drop-down list, you can choose the default Account and Department for DEPOSIT invoice items.  You will set up these Accounts and Department Codes in your General Lookup Tables.  See Step 5: General Lookup Tables.
