A statement is a collection of transactions and can be generated automatically or on-demand. Statements are automatically generated after nightly invoicing is completed and immediately sent to customers who are set-up to receive the statement by mail.
Statements and Invoices
Statements and invoices are both records of charges associated with an account on the Aria billing platform. Statements collect together invoice items and other transactions into a single document that can be sent to the customer, while invoices represent all charges for a specific billing period and are generated automatically or on demand at the account's anniversary date or when requested.
An invoice is a record of all the charges for a given billing period in the system. Invoices can be created immediately, on an account's anniversary date, as well as in "pending" status, to be approved at a later time.
