A combined invoice puts charges from several related bookings, services, events, or accounts onto one invoice for one billing customer.
The charges can be grouped for billing without losing their connection to the original bookings or services. The exact grouping and accounting rules depend on the organization's setup.
What Records Usually Need to Stay Connected?
- Customer or account.
- Booking, membership, contract, or service.
- Invoice or charge.
- Payment transaction.
- Refund, credit, or outstanding balance when applicable.
What Rules Should Be Defined?
Define which charges can be combined, who receives the invoice, when it is issued, how taxes and credits are handled, and how payments are applied back to the underlying charges.
Why Does Reconciliation Matter?
Payments from processors, invoices, and accounting records need reliable identifiers so finance teams can match what was expected with what was actually received.
