Billing Run/Billing Run Preliminary

A billing run is a batch processing of invoices to post the accounting, depending on the invoice. A billing run generates reports which can be viewed via the PDF Viewer.

Where possible, you should perform a preliminary run first and review the resulting reports. You can then make any necessary corrections before performing the billing run which updates the day's released invoices and all related information.

You can perform these billing runs:

On any Billing Run screen, you can use these buttons to complete your work:

Equipment Billing Run

To open the Preliminary Equipment Billing Run screen, navigate to Product Support > Equipment > Equipment Billing Run Preliminary.

To open the Equipment Billing Run screen, navigate to Product Support > Equipment > Equipment Billing Run.

Note:  If using Rental Optimization, when the system optimizes a contract based on the date/time in the preliminary, it actually optimizes the lines on the contract based on that date. If you subsequently run the preliminary with a current date, the system does NOT automatically undo the optimization already done.

To manually undo an optimization with a future date, on the Invoicing screen edit the line quantities and click the recalculate button. This process regenerates the details for the next invoice.
