Reservation and invoicing flow

The invoicing follows the reservation flow and will only create a new invoice when it is appropriate.
This will happen automatically.

Down payment invoices are only created for each payment on a reservation as long as there is no invoice in place yet.

...

In case there has already been created an invoice and the user makes a change in the reservation, then the user has the ability to immediately create a credit/new invoice.

...

This can be achieved via the MXTS following path :

Maxxton Software > Reservation Manager Finance | > Select a specific reservation > Finance sub-tab > Invoices card.

...

In case the user does not do this, then the credit/new invoice will get created at the end of the day automatically.
