How to Generate the Invoices

The Invoices can be generated from the VikBooking back-end page 'Bookings - All Bookings'. Use the checkbox next to each booking for which you would like to create an invoice and then click the toolbar button 'Generate Invoices'.

A modal window will be displayed with some basic configuration settings:
- Starting Number: an auto-increment integer number that will be used for any invoice.
- Number Suffix: an optional suffix that could be used to differentiate the invoices generated for the bookings of your website from the ones generated by your management client software.
- Invoices Date: choose if the date of the invoices should be set to the booking date or to the generation date.
- Company Information: this text accepts HTML code and it's used by default under the company logo in the invoices to specify the company legal address, VAT Number etc..

Before setting up any automated Cron Job that generates the invoices for the new bookings, you should always generate at least one invoice manually to save the information above.

Please notice that the invoices cannot be generated automatically whenever a booking gets paid or confirmed. You should set up a Cron Job to have this automated function and, optionally, the cron job could send the invoice via eMail to the customer without you having to do any kind of manual operation.
