About Event Checks

The Event Check (invoice) process is made up of several subprocesses which take place before and after the event.

Users can either open an Event Check before or after an event; however, the Event Check must be opened before a Trial Check is generated and an Event Check is posted. When the Event Check is opened, the Event Check header is created, and a unique number is assigned.

A Trial Check is generated to calculate the total price, including taxes and service charges, that is quoted to the customer. The Trial Check can be generated many times before the actual event occurs.

The Event Check process is usually initiated a few days before the event date. During this period, the operations team member can continue to add products to the orders. Products of type simple or complex are added to the order function line item. The products can have different taxes and service charge inclusions, which determine the way Event Checks are generated and displayed.
