We have been having occasional problems with accounts not getting invoiced.
I have looked VERY closely at the account and by every right, it should
get an invoice generated by the batching screen.

Scenario:
Incremental billing checked
Paidthru and Expires data: 5/28/97
OverLimit: 7

Batch:
Date: 6/25/97

No invoice created. BUT, I have now found that if I batch for 5/30/97...
Presto.. 128 Invoices. Oh SH%^! So now I have solved the problem. We
bill for the first day of the week, not necessarily every day. For this
invoice, we billed on 5/26 and then on 6/2. All accounts due between 5/27
and 5/30 were skipped since the billing does not check for previous months
to see if theree are any unbilled accounts left.

The moral of this story is - be sure to invoice the LAST DAY of each month
to catch the all of your accounts.

Duane.
