When you have many students with overdue invoices, or need to raise fees for a class of students, it can be time-consuming to do so one by one from the Enrolment Dashboard.
Instead, you can use bulk invoicing options available in TEAMS. To raise invoices in bulk, you typically need to select the relevant listing screens; Continuing Listing Screen, Starters Listing Screen, Finishers Listing Screen, Short Program Listing Screen etc., displaying the students.
Choose the group of students for whom you want to raise invoices, and create the invoices or fees with the necessary details such as amount, due date, and any other relevant information. Review and confirm the invoices or fees before submitting them, and the system should generate and send them automatically to the selected students.

However, it is crucial to remember not to click on the Save button until you have completed both steps. In step 3, you will need to select the fees you want to include in the invoice, while in step 4, you will need to enter invoice information, such as the date and any discounts or adjustments. Once you have entered all the relevant fees and invoice details, be sure to click on the Save button at the top of the screen to save the invoice.

You will also need to select the invoice date, which will be used as the due date for the invoice. Once you have entered all the necessary information, be sure to click on the SAVE button located in the top-right corner of the screen.
