Invoicing period status
Each invoicing period has one of the following statuses:
- Open—the invoicing period is unprocessed.
- Error—the invoicing period was processed and contains an error.
- Approval—the invoicing period was processed, and an invoice for the period is awaiting approval.
- Closed—the invoicing period was processed, the invoice was approved and the invoice balance was added to the account balance. The invoice is now ready for dispatch.
Smile processes invoicing periods with a status of Open or Error in the billing run. Smile never reprocesses invoicing periods with a status of Approval or Closed, so an invoice is never generated twice for the same period.
