How to Troubleshoot Domain Invoice Generation<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

You may encounter a problem in which the system does not generate an invoice for a domain renewal. This is generally due to one of several common causes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Auto Renew Disabled<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

A domain record will not automatically generate a renewal invoice if\u00a0Auto Renew<\/strong>\u00a0is disabled.<\/p>\n

To disable this option:<\/p>\n

1. Go to\u00a0Clients > Domain Registrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Search for and click on the domain in question.<\/p>\n

3. Under\u00a0Management Tools<\/strong>, find the\u00a0Disable Auto Renew<\/strong>\u00a0toggle. If it is set to\u00a0YES<\/em>, automatic renewal is disabled and the system will not automatically generate an invoice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

4. Set\u00a0Disable Auto Renew<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0NO<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The system will generate the renewal invoice the next time that the daily automation cron tasks run.<\/p>\n

For more information, see\u00a0Domain Renewals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Status Not Active or Pending<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

A domain record will not generate a renewal invoice if\u00a0Status<\/strong>\u00a0is anything other than\u00a0Active<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Pending<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To set this value:<\/p>\n

1. Go to\u00a0Domains > Domain Registrations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Search for and click on the domain.<\/p>\n

3. If\u00a0Status<\/strong>\u00a0is not set to\u00a0Active<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Pending<\/em>, update it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

4. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The system will generate the renewal invoice the next time that the daily automation cron tasks run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Next Due Date Beyond Invoice Generation Days<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

A domain record will not automatically generate a renewal invoice if\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>\u00a0is further in the future than the number of days you specified in\u00a0the\u00a0Invoice Generation<\/strong>\u00a0setting:<\/p>\n

1. Go to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings >\u00a0<\/strong>Automation Settings<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Find the\u00a0Invoice Generation<\/strong>\u00a0value:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Go to\u00a0Clients > Domain Registrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Search for and click on the domain.<\/p>\n

5. Find the\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>\u00a0value and check whether it is further in the future than the\u00a0Invoice Generation<\/strong>\u00a0value specifies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

For example, if today’s date is 1st Jan 2022:<\/p>\n

\n
Next Due Date: 14th Jan 2022\r\nInvoice Generation: 14\r\n= Invoice will<\/strong> generate today.<\/code><\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Next Due Date: 15th Jan 2022\r\nInvoice Generation: 14\r\n= Invoice not<\/strong> generated today.<\/code><\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
If the invoice is not yet due for automatic renewal, you can renew the domain early via the Client Area shopping cart or\u00a0in the client’s\u00a0Summary<\/strong>\u00a0tab.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Previously Invoiced<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
A domain record will not automatically generate a renewal invoice if the system has already generated a renewal invoice for the current\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>\u00a0value and an admin deleted it.<\/p>\n
To check for this issue:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1. Access the WHMCS MySQL\u00ae database using your preferred method (for example, phpMyAdmin).<\/p>\n
2. Run the following query:<\/p>\n
\n
SELECT * FROM tblinvoiceitems WHERE relid='x' AND (type='Domain' OR type='DomainRegister' OR type='DomainTransfer') AND invoiceid NOT IN(SELECT id FROM tblinvoices)<\/code><\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Replace\u00a0x<\/code>\u00a0with the domain ID, which you can find next to the domain in the client’s\u00a0Summary<\/strong>\u00a0tab.<\/p>\n
The query should return an empty result:<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
If there are any results, this indicates a deleted renewal invoice.<\/p>\n
Review the client’s\u00a0Log<\/strong>\u00a0tab’s\u00a0Invoice Deleted<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Order Deleted<\/strong>\u00a0entries. This will identify who deleted it and the time of deletion.<\/p>\n
To resolve this issue and generate a new invoice:<\/p>\n
1. Go to\u00a0Clients > Domain Registrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n
2. Search for and click on the domain.<\/p>\n
3. Set the\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>\u00a0value to one day earlier.<\/p>\n
4. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The system will generate the renewal invoice the next time that the daily automation cron tasks run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Daily Automation Cron Issue<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
The daily\u00a0cron job\u00a0handles invoice generation, payment reminders, and account suspensions and terminations according to your\u00a0automation settings. If some of these do not occur, the cron job may not be running successfully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
