Overview

Invoice Sets are located under Admin → Invoice Sets.

Invoices are bulk-generated and organized as “Invoice Sets.” Invoice sets are based on configuration of Fee Categories and contain related invoices for each fee category. Upon creation of a new Periodic Invoice Fee lookup record, an invoice set and associated invoice amounts are automatically generated and made available for review in an Invoice Prelist. Financial staff can then Invoice one or more items in a prelist. When a set of prelist items are invoiced, invoice documents are generated and the financial charges are created.

What Items Are Included in an Invoice Set?

There are two major components to an invoice set:

1. The creation of invoice set “containers” for a given Fiscal Year

2. The determination of items to include in an invoice set based on the Effective Period and the charge amounts for each item.

Invoice Set Creation, Effective Periods, and Items Included

nVIRO will create a placeholder invoice set for each Fee Category and Periodic Invoice Fee/Year. The Fiscal Year and Effective Period for the Invoice Set are based on the invoice set’s Fee Category. The Invoice Set’s Effective Period is based on the Fiscal Year End Date month and day, and Invoice Frequency defined in the Fee Category.

Determination of Items and Amounts to Include in an Invoice Set

Permits and Compliance Actions are included in an invoice set.

Permits are added based on the assignment of a Fee Type to a permit. A permit will be included in the invoice set if there is an active permit version on the final day of the invoice set’s effective period. The fee amount is based on the default amount assigned to the Fee Type, or an override amount on a specific permit, if configured to allow this.

Compliance Actions are added based on the presence of an Expense with an Expense Date within the Invoice Set’s effective period.

Compliance Actions are added based on the presence of an Expense with an Expense Date within the Invoice Set’s effective period.

Permit Invoice Sets

Permit Invoice Sets are set up for Annual Invoicing only. Invoice Set Effective Periods are set for the year prior to the invoice set’s Fiscal Year. If the Fiscal Year End Date is 6/30, an invoice set for fiscal year 2024 be created for Effective Period 7/1/2022 - 6/30/2023.

Permit line items are included in the invoice set if:

• The permit has a linked Periodic Invoicing component with a Fee Type that is contained in the invoice set’s Fee Category, and

• They are effective on the last day of the effective period. In the example above, permits effective on 6/30/2023 will be included in the invoice set (even if they have been subsequently terminated).

Permit Fee Type

1. Custom fee calculation stored procedure specified at the Fee Type level.

2. Custom fee calculation stored procedure specified at the Fee Category level.

3. Flat Fee entered into the permit’s Periodic Invoicing Component.

4. Flat Fee specified in the Periodic Invoice Year record.

Compliance Action Invoice Sets

Compliance Action Invoice Sets include Expense line items specified on Compliance Actions. Invoice can be created at the following frequencies:

• Annual

• Biannual

• Quarterly

• Monthly

Invoice sets are created within a Fiscal Year based on the Fee Category’s Fiscal Year End Date. For example, if a Fee Category has a frequency set to Quarterly with a Fiscal Year End Date of 6/30, the following invoice sets will be created for fiscal year 2024:

• Quarter 1: 7/1/2023 - 9/30/2023

• Quarter 2: 10/1/2023 - 12/31/2023

• Quarter 3: 1/1/2024 - 3/31/2024

• Quarter 4: 4/1/2024 - 6/30/2024

Compliance Action line items are included in an invoice set if:

1. The Compliance Action Type/Program is configured to allow Expense Tracking.

2. The Compliance Action Type/Program’s default Fee Category matches that of the Invoice Set.

3. The Compliance Action has an Expense record that falls within the Invoice Set’s effective period.

Compliance Action Fee Type

The fee amount for a line item is determined by the specified Expense Type’s calculation method. The calculation methods are:

• Quantity/Rate (e.g. work hours multiplied by an hourly rate) - quantity is specified on the Expense item at the Compliance Action and is multiplied by a rate specified on the linked Periodic Invoice Year rate amount.

• Flat Fee - flat fee amount is specified on the Expense item.

Fee Types are used to generate periodic fees for permits/compliance actions, and here is how to configure:

• Fee types get linked to permits/compliance actions by internal processors when crafting new or revised permits.

• Fee types determine the fee sent out to the responsible party when periodic fees are generated, configured via Annual Invoice Fees (used to change annual fees from period to period), or based on a custom fee calculation stored procedure.

• Fee Calc Type Selection determines if it is a set Flat Fee or Quantity and Rate.

  • Periodic Invoice Fees uses this Fee Type for calculations.

    • Flat Fee will have a user entered dollar value on an Expense.

    • Quantity and Rate will have a fixed dollar amount that is used to calculate Expense by user entered quantity.

Periodic Invoice Fees

Administration for Periodic Invoice Fees is managed in Admin>Lookups>Periodic Invoice Fees.
