Basic Financial Reports: Accessing and Understanding the Invoices Report

The Invoices Report provides a summary of all posted and planned invoices on confirmed or canceled reservations over a specified period of time. 

• Each Invoice is a bill for goods and/or services provided to the boater by your marina. It represents groups of line items that are added or removed from a reservation.
• Invoices align 1:1 with the "scheduled payments" you observe on the reservation details page. 
• When an Invoice is created in Dockwa, a unique Invoice ID is created to identify this customer bill.

How the Invoice report relates to other reports

• Reservation report
  • Use the Reservation report to identify the details of the reservation with which an Invoice is associated. 
  • Each Invoice is associated with an individual reservation. Invoices are created as items such as dockage and electric are added to a reservation. 
  • Because a boater can be billed multiple times throughout the duration their reservation, one Reservation ID can be associated with multiple Invoice IDs.
• Transactions report
  
  • Use the Transactions report to see what payments or refunds have been made to settle an Invoice.
  • While the Invoice/Invoice ID represents a bill issued to a customer, a transaction/Payment ID represents a charge and/or refund that contributes to settling the bill.
  • The Transaction report only considers charges or refunds that have occurred, while the Invoices report considers bills that have been issued and are planned to be issued.
  • Often, an Invoice is associated with a single Transaction - a payment. However, since refunds are a transaction type that can be associated with an Invoice, invoice can associated with one or multiple transactions.
• Line Items Ledger report
  • Use the Line Items Ledger report to see a breakdown of what is included in an invoice.
  • The dollar value of an Invoice is comprised of one or multiple Line Items.
  • Line Items represent individual goods or services provided to the boater by your marina.
  • Each Line Item has its own unique Line Item ID and can be tied back to its one associated Invoice in the Line Items Ledger report.
