Batch Invoice in New Zealand

A batch invoice is produced when multiple invoices are processed together in a single batch. It is common in industries where multiple customers need to be billed for similar products and services.

Of importance, is that batch invoices are more useful when there is some sort of similarity in the invoices sent.

Following is a list of situations where batch invoices can be efficient:

• There are multiple clients that buy similar types of products every month, quarter or year.
• There is a defined frequency of billing. For example, when hundreds of club members are invoiced after a certain interval.
• When customers are indifferent. A good examples of this, is when educational institutes send similar invoices or bills to hundreds of their students.
