### Invoice Auto- Generation

This determines how Invoices & Invoice Line Items are generated, including the following options:

* **Manual** means that Invoices are generated by using the `Generate Invoice` button on the `Appointment`
* **Schedule** means that Invoices are generated based on the schedule defined here, including:
  * **Schedule Frequency** which offers `Daily`, `Weekly`, `Fortnightly` and `Monthly`
  * **Schedule Start Date** which defines when the schedule will commence and run according to the **Schedule Frequency**.
    * Example: If the 5th of any month is selected and set to `Monthly` then Invoices will be generated on teh 5th of each month.
    * Example: if the 5th of any month is selected and this happens to be a Wednesday, then Invoices will be generated each Wednesday going forward.
  * **Schedule Time** is the time at which Invoices will be generated.
* **Trigger** means that Invoices are generated when an `Appointment` is either completed or cancelled.

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is only possible for users with a Salesforce Enterprise license and Maica Client Management license. This setting will cause permission errors for users on Salesforce Platform licenses.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* **Invoice Flow** is a link to the actual Invoice generation Salesforce Flow containing the logic of how Invoices should be generated.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to generate Invoice Line Items on the last day of each month, pick the last day of schedule start date month, i.e. 31st January or 30th April.
