# Upcoming bills

> See what each account is about to be billed, and bill it early when you need to.

The **Upcoming** tab of **Finances → Invoices** is a preview of each account's next bill: every charge waiting to be invoiced, plus the recurring charges due before the next cycle close. Looking never creates anything.

## Read the tab

One row per account with something pending. **Next bill** tells you what will happen, based on your [automation level](/billing/automated-billing):

| It reads                     | Meaning                                                             |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sends {date}**             | Full auto: the invoice sends itself at that close.                  |
| **Drafts {date}**            | Draft for review: a draft lands in the **Draft** tab at that close. |
| **Accrues; invoice by hand** | Manual: charges collect; nothing is assembled.                      |

**Items** counts two kinds of line:

* **Ready**: charges that already exist and aren't on any invoice.
* **Scheduled**: recurring charges due before the close that haven't been created yet, shown with a clock icon. Lessons are never predicted; a lesson charge appears only after you mark attendance.

Click a row to see the lines and the total.

## Bill an account now

Don't want to wait for the close? Each row carries one action:

* **Create draft** (Manual and Draft for review): builds an invoice from the account's ready charges and opens it in the editor.
* **Send now** (Full auto): builds the invoice and sends it, after a confirmation showing the account and amount.

Either way the result is an ordinary invoice you made, frozen at creation. Automation never adds to it; anything that accrues afterwards starts the account's next upcoming bill.

<Note>
  Scheduled lines aren't included: a charge that doesn't exist yet can't be
  billed. Harness tells you how many were left out; they bill at the next
  close as usual.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="An account I expect isn't listed">
    Upcoming only shows uninvoiced charges. If the account's charges already
    sit on a draft (including one Harness assembled), they're in the **Draft**
    tab instead.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I skip one scheduled charge?">
    Wait for it to be created, then void it in **Finances → Transactions**. A
    voided recurring charge stays skipped; it won't reappear on Upcoming.
