Overview

This guide explains how to generate and deliver a single recurring invoice on demand in Cornerstone Billing Solutions.

How to Generate a Single Recurring Invoice

Step 1 — Access Invoice Generation

  1. Go to Invoice History on the customer account.

  2. Click Insert.
  3. Select Recurring.

  4. Click OK.

Step 2 — Generate the Invoice

  1. On the "Generate Recurring Invoice" screen, click Run to generate the invoice.

Printing and Delivery Options

Flexible Delivery Methods

On the "Print Invoice" screen, you can choose how to deliver the invoice regardless of how the recurring charge is originally set up. The available delivery options are:

Delivery MethodDescription
PrintSend to your printer
EmailSend via email
CornerMailUse CornerMail delivery
CombinationUse multiple delivery methods at once


Email Customization

If you choose to email the invoice, keep the following in mind:

  1. You can edit the email body before sending.
  2. Emails are sent out immediately upon confirmation.

Master/Dealer Invoices

The process works the same way for Master/Dealer invoices, with one additional step required after the standard invoice generation process.

  1. Follow the standard invoice generation process as described above.
  2. On the "Generate Dealer Invoice" screen, click Run. This ensures both the master and dealer invoices are properly generated.

⚠️ IMPORTANT

When generating a Master/Dealer invoice, you must also click the Run button on the "Generate Dealer Invoice" screen. Skipping this step means the dealer invoice will not be properly generated.
