🚨 Do you need to assign billing schedules to individual line items in NetSuite? 🚨

This tutorial will guide you through customizing transaction forms and assigning billing schedules to individual line items in NetSuite for more precise billing control.

Step-by-Step Guide 📋

1. Customize the Transaction Form 🧭

  • Go to Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms.
  • Choose the form you want to customize, such as the Standard Sales Order.
  • Rename the form to something descriptive, e.g., “Billing Schedule Sales Order,” so it appears in the custom form dropdown during transactions.

2. Enable the Billing Schedule Column ⚙️

  • Under the Sublist Fields subtab:
    • Locate the Billing Schedule field and check the Show box.
    • This ensures the Billing Schedule column appears in the transaction view.

3. Enable Billing Schedule in Print and Email Views 🖨️

  • Change the Printing Type to Basic.
  • Under the Printing Fields subtab:
    • Locate the Billing Schedule column and check the box to include it in printed or emailed transactions.
  • Save the custom form to apply these changes.

4. Assign Billing Schedules to Line Items 📝

  • Navigate to Transactions > Sales > Enter Sales Orders.
  • In the Custom Form field, select the custom form you just created (e.g., “Billing Schedule Sales Order”).
  • Fill in the required fields, such as Start Date:
    • If left blank, the system will default to the sales order date for the first billing date.

5. Add Billing Schedules to Items 📋

  • Go to the Items subtab:
    • If an item already has a billing schedule assigned, it will auto-fill in the Billing Schedule column.
    • You can also manually select a billing schedule for each item if needed.
  • Once complete, click Save to finalize the sales order.

6. Key Notes 📝

  • Customizing the transaction form allows you to manage unique billing schedules for individual line items.
  • Assigning line-item-specific billing schedules provides flexibility for managing customer payments for each product or service.
  • Including the billing schedule in print and email views ensures consistent communication with customers.
