Hints and tips
Keep in mind that customer accounts are not business-to-business invoices and they may not have all legally required information on the receipt or invoice. Best check with your accountant about your local requirements.
Customer accounts don’t have a cut off. That means you can keep adding to them even after the end of a month or after you’ve sent a payment reminder.
