Reprint Past Due Invoices

When you need a fast and easy method to produce past due invoices without the more complex collections method, use the Reprint option.

The # of Days field makes it possible to reprint certain past due invoices as part of the processing run. This provides a fairly fast and easy method to get past due invoices to your clients, but it may not be the best method—the Collections module provides more control over the process and produces a letter to go with the invoice, see Collections.

If you decide to reprint via Processing, you need to determine what to specify as the number of days. This field looks at the number of days since the invoice was last included in a processing for any reason, including being selected for reprinting. If you have a large number of old invoices and you don’t want them reprinting all at once, specify a high number in this field, such as 90, to get all the very old invoices reprinted. Then on the next processing, those very old invoices will have newer dates of most recent billing and will not be included, so you could specify 60 days and would get all the invoices from 60 days to about 90 days old (bearing in mind that if any time has passed since you printed the over 90 day-old invoices, some of the invoices selected will be 60 days plus whatever time has elapsed since you did the previous processing).
