The Billing Assistant is a tool that groups everything billable for a period and generates invoices automatically.

You have 50 clients with visits, consumption, fees...
The assistant reviews everything, shows it to you, and generates 50 invoices at once.


📝 STEP 1: Select period

  1. Go to Billing → Billing Assistant
  2. Select the period to bill:

💡 Billing Tips

Tip 1: Invoice on the same day every month

The last day of the month or the first of the next. This is how customers get used to it.

Tip 2: Check the "outliers"

Before generating, look at the abnormal consumptions (many or few). They could be errors.

Tip 3: Save drafts

If you're not sure, generate as "Draft" first. You review and then broadcast.

Tip 4: Automatic Email

Set up auto-send to save time.
