Owner Invoices
Updated
Owner invoices allow you to bill your owners for bookings you have generated each month. To create an owner invoice you must have owners created in Owner Center.
To view or create invoices, navigate to the Invoices section in the left navigation bar:
Here you will see a list of all invoices in the account.
The options above the list will allow you to customize the fields that are shown for your invoices, filter your invoices based on your selections or delete/download the selected invoices:
To customize which fields/columns are shown, first click on the icon to "Choose filters and View your desired results" then on the Grid tab:
You will then be able to turn off any fields/columns that you don't wish to view.
If you will like to narrow down the invoices that are shown, click on the icon then on the Filters tab. You will then have the option to display invoices based on Channel, Date Range, Owners, Rentals and Status.
If you will like to select filters that will be saved for you to view the invoices list with these filters selected in the future, you can select your filters then click on the "Save your filter view" icon and save those selections as a Filter View.
The invoices list contains details such as the invoice #, owner, date range (Interval), total, status and if it is visible to the owner.
You can easily identify invoices that are automatic invoices from the robot icon next to the Created date:
