Finance — Overview

Billing,Invoice,CreditNote, finance transaction, invoice manager, and accounting sync.
Finance does not decide which sessions a customer can book. It turns Booking/Subscription data → financial documents → tracks processing state → data for Payment, CreditNote, reporting, Xero sync.
