The Manual Invoicing tab

Most subscriptions invoice themselves. Some cannot — a customer who needs a purchase-order number on every invoice, one billed through a framework agreement, one whose amount is agreed each period. Those are set to Manuell fakturering, and this tab is where they are collected.

Setting one. On the subscription, Fakturer denne kunden manuelt: Ingen fakturaer opprettes automatisk. Faktureringsintervallet beskriver fortsatt avtalen.

That hint is the important part. The agreement is unchanged — the interval, the amount and the renewal date all still describe what was agreed, and the renewals tab still counts it. The only thing that stops is the automatic creation of the invoice.

Which means somebody has to remember. A manual subscription with nobody invoicing it looks completely healthy: it is active, it is in the ARR, and it is not in the billing error list, because no billing was attempted. This tab exists so that "who do we still have to invoice this month" is a page rather than a memory.

Work it as a checklist. Go through it each period, raise the invoice against the subscription so it lands on the customer's record, and you have the same audit trail as an automatic one: Create an invoice.

Do not use manual invoicing to pause billing. If a customer should not be charged, change or cancel the subscription so the agreement matches reality: Change, pause or end a subscription. Leaving an active subscription uninvoiced makes your revenue reporting wrong in the flattering direction.

Everything else invoices itself, and that is monitored separately: Automatic billing runs.
