How to Create a New Invoice Batch

Invoice batches are created based on the billing cycle selected on the customer record.

Duplicate invoices are not created in X Dispatch. If an invoice number already exists, that number will not be used again.

New invoice batched can be created from the invoice center.

From the main X Dispatch menu, go to Action > Invoices > Invoice Center.
Go to File > New Batch, or right-click in the Select Invoice or Batch section and select New Batch.
In the Active Billing Cycles, click the gray box in the first column of the billing cycle you would like.
