# Applying Late Fees to Overdue Invoices

## Problem

Invoices that are overdue by 30 days or more need to have a 1.5% late fee applied for every 30 days they remain unpaid. You want to automatically apply this fee to these invoices.

## Solution

While there is no option to automatically do this, you can manually charge interest in bulk using the following steps:

1. On the navigation bar and click on **Accounting**.
2. Click the **Select a batch** dropdown and select **Create a new batch**.
3. Enter a batch name and click **OK**.
4. When finished, click **Save**. A batch number is automatically assigned to the batch.
5. Select the invoices for which you want to apply late fees.
6. Click the batch **selected** option to add these to the batch.
7. Make sure the batch you created is still selected in the dropdown and click **Charge Interest**.
8. On the *Charge Interest* popup, enter the *Interest Rate*, *Task Code*, and *Invoice Date*.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** By default, all invoices with an outstanding balance in the batch are selected in this popup.
9. Click **Create Invoice Adjustments**.
10. New invoices with interest charges are generated.

Currently, there is no automation rule to apply a discount or fee on an invoice. The fee would need to be manually done/checked up on by an employee every 30 days. For more, see [Charge interest](/v1/docs/charge-interest).
