Resolving "One or More Previous Billing Schedules Have Not Been Invoiced" Error in Work 365
Applies to: Work 365 | Audience: Administrators, Billing Teams
Issue
When generating a change log invoice in Work 365, you may encounter the following error message:
? Error Message:
"One or more previous billing schedules have not been invoiced. Please generate invoice for earlier schedules and retry."
This error occurs when there are missing billing schedules on a billing contract, while active billable License Change Logs (LCLs) exist from those periods without corresponding billing schedules. The system cannot generate a new change log invoice until these discrepancies are resolved.
Resolution Steps
1. Assess the Status of License Change Logs (LCLs)
✅ Determine whether the active LCLs from the affected periods need to be invoiced or if they can be archived.
2. If LCLs Need to Be Invoiced
Create Missing Billing Schedules
✅ Manually create billing schedules for the missing periods.
✅ Ensure accurate dates and set the schedules to Pending.
Generate the Change Log Invoice
✅ Once the billing schedules are in place, manually generate the change log invoice for the relevant LCLs.
3. If LCLs Do Not Need to Be Invoiced
Archive Unnecessary LCLs
✅ Manually archive LCLs that do not require invoicing.
Generate the Change Log Invoice
✅ After archiving, manually generate the change log invoice as needed.
4. Bulk Editing License Change Logs
View Active LCLs
✅ Navigate to the "Uninvoiced License Change Log" view.
✅ Use the Advanced Find feature to filter LCLs based on specific criteria, such as effective dates and billable status.
Edit LCLs in Bulk
✅ Select the relevant LCLs and use the bulk edit function to update their status to Archived or make other necessary changes.
Additional Considerations
Child Subscription LCLs
? Issue:
- Active LCLs for child subscriptions under a parent subscription that has already been invoiced can cause this error.
? Workaround:
- Manually archive these child subscription LCLs until a fix is applied.
