🚨 Do you Need to Create Billing Schedules in NetSuite Using Advanced Billing? 🚨

This guide will walk you through the process of creating billing schedules in NetSuite, a great way to automate invoicing for recurring memberships or long-term service contracts.

Step-by-Step Guide 📋

  1. Why Use Billing Schedules? 📅
    • Billing schedules define how and when to bill your customers.
    • They’re perfect for recurring invoicing (monthly, quarterly, or custom terms).
  2. Navigate to Billing Schedules 🗂️
    • Go to: Lists > Accounting > Billing Schedules > New.
  3. Set Up the Billing Schedule ✍️
    • Name: Give your billing schedule a clear name (e.g., “10% Quarterly”).
    • Initial Amount: Enter the initial billing amount (e.g., $500 or a percentage of the total sale).
    • Payment Terms: Select the terms for the initial payment.
    • Recurrence Frequency: Choose how often the invoices should recur (daily, weekly, monthly, custom).
    • Recurrence Count: Set the number of invoices to generate after the initial billing.
  4. Advanced Options ⚙️
    • Relative to Previous: Check this to link subsequent bills to the completion of prior invoices.
    • Amount per Recurrence: Define how much to bill in each cycle as a dollar amount or percentage.
    • In Arrears: Select this to bill at the end of each period (uncheck for billing at the start).
  5. Save Your Billing Schedule 💾
    • Once everything is set, click Save to finalize.
    • Private vs. Public Schedules:
      • Private: Only visible in transactions where they are created.
      • Public: Must be created from an estimate or sales order and can be reused.
  6. Key Reminders 🛡️
    • Review schedules with mixed dollar and percentage fields carefully to avoid overbilling.
    • Ensure billing schedules align with your contract terms to prevent discrepancies.
  7. That’s It! 🎉
    • Your billing schedule is now ready to automate invoicing.
