Creating an Invoice Record for an Application
Invoices are the total amount that will be chargeable to students on the application the invoice is related to. When you create invoice records, you will need to associate them with an application, which helps to automatically update other fields in the invoice record. For instance, the Price List field is automatically updated from the invoice definition record that is associated through the record set in the Application field. And records in the Products sub-grid are automatically displayed as they are associated with the price list.
If you save an invoice record without selecting an application, the Application field will be locked and cannot be updated. Similarly, all fields from Detail Amount to Total Amount will be locked.
Discount code records that are linked to the application through its parent application registration's associated application definition version, are available for selection in the Discount Code field.
In an invoice record in which an application is set, the value in the Detail Amount field is inherited from the sum of the values of the Extend Amount field of associated Product records.
In the Discount Code field, if the Discount Type in the selected record is Amount, the Discount Code Amount field is displayed; and if the Discount Type is Percentage, the Discount Code % field is displayed.
The following table describes how the value is calculated in the Total Amount field:
Sl No | Value in the Extend Amount field in the Product Record (in $) | Is Fee Value in associated Existing Product record | Discount | Sub Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1000/- | No | Not Applicable | 1000/- |
500/- | Yes | 10% | 500 - 50 = 450/- | |
Total Amount | 1450/- | |||
2 | 1000/- | Yes | 10% | 1000 - 100 = 900/- |
500/- | Yes | 500 - 50 = 450/- | ||
Total Amount | 1350/- |
If the Discount Type of the selected record is Amount, the value in the Total Amount is calculated as follows:
Total Amount = Detail Amount - Discount Code Amount

An Invoice can include normal products and/or product that are priced conditionally, i.e., the price is based on whether the query it’s associated with is satisfied. For information about conditional products, see Creating a Conditional Product in an Invoice Definition.
The following table displays amounts chargeable to students A and B based on the condition that non-domicile students are billed higher application fees compared to local students.
A is a local student and his invoice amount toward application fees is $100/-.
B is an outstation student and his invoice amount toward application fees is $150/-.
When both applications are processed, the following invoice amounts will be displayed in the Products pane:
Student A - Local | Student B - Outstation | |
---|---|---|
Application Fees | $100/- | $150/- |
Total Amount | $100/- | $150/- |
