The life cycle state of a bill is informative and reflects a bill's progress. It is manually updated through dedicated actions available from the Actions Menu menu (Action > Life Cycle State) and can take the following values:
...
- Maximum Credited Amount: credited through a bill before it is classified as exceptional
- Maximum Debited Amount: debited through a bill before it is classified as exceptional.
The credit limit of the account is used in calculating the maximum debited amount. The maximum amount can be set equal to the credit limit or expressed as a percentage of the credit limit.
Bills are evaluated during the billing process. If either threshold is exceeded, the respective classification will be set on the bill:
- Max Credit Amount Reached: The bill amount is too low (for example, if the 'Maximum Credited Amount' is set to €100 and the 'Total Bill Amount' is €-101).
- Max Credit Limit Amount Reached: The bill amount is too high (for example, if the 'Maximum Debited Amount' is set to be equal to the credit limit of the accounts receivable, which is €500 (fixed amount), and the 'Total Bill Amount' is €501).
