Step-by-Step Guide 📋

  1. Why Set Up Billing Schedules? 💡
    • Setting up billing schedules directly from a transaction allows you to apply custom invoicing terms seamlessly during the creation of new transactions.
  2. Accessing Sales Orders 📂
    • Navigate to:
      • Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Order.
    • Select the sales order you want to use.
  3. Locate the Billing Subtab 🔍
    • Under the Billing subtab, find the Billing Schedule field.
    • You can either:
      • Select an existing billing schedule.
      • Create a new one directly from the transaction.

    • To make the billing schedule available for all transactions, check the Public box.
    • Note: Milestone billing schedules cannot be marked as public.
  7. Auto-Attaching Private Schedules 🔗
    • If you create a private billing schedule from an estimate, it will automatically attach to items on any resulting sales orders.
    • New lines added to these sales orders can also use the private schedule.

      • List > Accounting > Billing Schedules.
    • Use filters to view public, private, or all schedules.
