Picture this: You have a client with a specific billing cycle – perhaps monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. With OctopusPro’s feature, you can lock an invoice to prevent any accidental changes, maintaining the integrity of the set billing cycle. This means you don’t need to worry about unexpected variations in the invoicing process, ensuring consistency, and precision.

With the Unlock Invoice feature, you can easily integrate additional invoices without disrupting the established cycle, providing a seamless customer experience.
But what if you are an admin user and need to make changes to a locked invoice? You have full authority to unlock the invoice, make the necessary alterations, and relock it, ensuring complete control over the invoicing and billing process.
In essence, the Lock / Unlock merged/group Invoice feature of OctopusPro provides the perfect solution for businesses seeking a powerful, efficient, and flexible way to manage their invoicing and billing processes.

Streamlining the Billing Process with Customizable Invoice Cycles
Streamlining the billing process is crucial for any business, as it helps to ensure that invoices are sent out accurately and on time. With customizable invoice cycles, you can take control of your billing process and streamline it even further.
By setting up custom invoice cycles for each of your customers, you can specify the frequency of invoicing that works best for their business needs. For example, if a customer has a monthly invoice cycle, their invoices will be grouped together and sent to them on a monthly basis. This means that you can manage your invoicing process more efficiently, without having to manually group invoices each time.
To get started with customizable invoice cycles, you need to follow these steps:
- Set up custom invoice cycles for each customer: Access the settings section of the software and set up custom invoice cycles for each customer.
- Group invoices automatically: The software will automatically group invoices based on the custom invoice cycles set up for each customer.
- View and manage grouped invoices: Go to the View Invoice page in the system, where you can see all the invoices that have been grouped together. You can also edit, add, or remove invoices from a group if necessary.
- Lock invoices: If necessary, you can also lock invoices on the View Invoice page. This will prevent any further changes to the invoice, which can help ensure that the correct invoices are being sent to each customer.
