Hi Paulos,
I guess this is more question for some Malawi lawyer. In Czech Republic
we have a law that we should issue invoice when we receive advanced
payment. However, this may be something specific for our legislation.
Also every legislation specifies what should be the content of the
invoice in that case (issuer, recipient, day of payment, effective day
of service, etc..). This may differ country to country as well. FRED
contains PDF templates for invoices according Czech legislation. I
cannot say if they may be used for you as well.
If you will be in Joburg, we can have a talk about it there.
Regards,
Jaromir

 Hello,
 I would like to find out how your registry responds to a request like
 the one here below
 for invoices and statements on registrar payments to a registry that
 uses the FRED
 registry system.
 On our registry for the Malawi .mw ccTLD, registrar payments are
 credited to the
 registrar zone by zone according to what the registrar has paid for.
 Once the registrar
 has consumed the credit, then they need to make a new payment in
 advance which is then
 credited to the zones that they need.
 We do not need to issue them an invoice in advance, they make the
 payments based on what
 transactions they need to do on each zone.
 When we receive a request for their data payments, we have used
 Invoice on Daphne to
 generate the data and we have sent this to the registrar.
 However, as you can see here below, this registrar seems to be asking
 for more.
 I would therefore like to request information on how your registry
 using FRED handles
 requests for data, invoices and statements like these.
 Regards,
 Paulos

 Hi Dr Paulos,
 I think you might have misunderstood, I wasn’t complaining. The
 details you provided me
 in April was excel spreadsheet with payment details and the zones
 that were topped. We
 need proper invoices and statements and therefore I was following  up
 on our last
 conversation where you was saying that you are developing a system to
 make this possible.
 I was just checking if this is now possible and would we be getting
 proper statements
 and invoices.
 Thank you.
 Kind regards,
 Jamil
