Merge Invoices

[hadzo]

Sometimes you have multiple invoices for a client that are regarding the same task and are still pending/not paid and it would be good to pay them all at once - merge the into one invoice and the client get's an email notification about the invoices being merged.

I've found myself splitting invoices in the past, on WHMCS, but I think merging would be more important.

 

My use case is as follows...

 

A client is behind on 3 or 4 payments. They request a total owed. It's easy for me to add up the total and communicate it to them, but then, sending one combined (pro-forma) invoice, specifying the grand total, is much more convenient than sending out 3 or 4 separate invoices. This causes confusion, and I've often had clients paying the amount specified on only one of the invoices. Then, it makes it awkward and time consuming to revert and explain that there are in fact 2 or 3 unpaid invoices left on the account.

 

I've added some code to the online payment page, making it easier for clients to see all unpaid invoices and make one payment to clear them all when they click on the Pay Now link they get via email, but some people may still be old-fashioned, and prefer giving card details over the phone, and others still pay by cheque/check.

 

In this case, I think combining would be very useful.
