Overview
In Aria, a statement is defined as all financial transactions that take place during a billing period.
A statement, when generated, dictates the payment due date for the charges incurred. The statement, therefore, dictates the dates for aging reports and dunning. Additionally, if a pending invoice is generated on 1/1/2016, but is not approved until 1/5/2016, the due date is calculated from 1/5/2016 until the date that the statement is generated, not the date that the pending invoice is generated.
Invoice
An invoice is defined as a charge transaction associated with an account. It is a collection of service-based fees (and associated taxes and/or offsetting credits or discounts) incurred during the specified time period.
Credit transactions are applied against charge transactions for a billing period and are associated with a statement.
In Aria, only one invoice is allowed per statement, as shown below.
Note: An invoice must always be generated before a statement. A statement cannot be generated without an invoice.
