  1. Login to your Communal Manager Dashboard 
  2. Navigate to Facilities then All Bookings 
  3. Locate the booking you would like to create an invoice for and click the blue arrow ➡️
  4. Then navigate to the Invoices tab and click Create Invoice 
  5. The details of the renter will load automatically. You will then need to add a Description, and determine if you want to charge the user immediately or provide them with a due date. 

    If the renter does not have a payment method on file you will not be able to charge them immediately. 
  6. Then you will select the payment methods you would like to offer. Credit card and/or Pre-Authorized Debit if you are in Canada. 
  7. Then review the invoice that has been auto-populated based on the renters bookings
    1. You can edit the line item(s) by clicking the blue Edit button
    2. Then you can update the hours/minutes you are renting for
      It is important to note that the minutes are calculated automatically by the system to account for rounding. 
      Additionally you can indicate if a line item is a deposit. This is particularly for when you are creating an invoice payment plan where a user can pay the deposit ahead of the rest of the invoice (other other configurations you have the flexibility to create).

  8. Then save the invoice and send as normal. 
    Please note that the end user will receive the invoice in units for all quantity types. So if you bill a hall on a daily rental rate you can still do so. To see what the invoice looks like for the user you can download the PDF copy. See example below
