Has an event been invoiced but the invoice was created from another programme? Then it is possible to add it to the event as an external invoice.
Note: Invoicing is only possible for the user roles 'administrator' and 'invoicing'.
Usefulness of an external invoice in MICE
In particular, by adding an external invoice to an event, you ensure that the billed amount of the event is updated according to the total amount of the external invoice. This way, it is immediately clear to staff that the event has been invoiced.
Is the invoice amount of the external invoice not equal to the total turnover of the event? Then the final invoice (created from the event) invoices the remaining amount.
Add external invoice
Follow the steps below to add an external invoice to an event.
Go to the event dashboard of the relevant event.
At the top of the dashboard, click on the documents tab.
Under invoices, click on the arrow to the right and select Add external invoice (see image below).
Manually enter the details. Mandatory fields are the invoice number, invoice date and at least one invoice line.
Finally, click on save.
The external invoice has been created.🥳 The already invoiced amount of the event is immediately adjusted.
