Billing Types

Each Charge Type has a Billing Type

The Billing Type defines the method to be used by the invoicing process. As each job can only have one Charge Type it can only have one Billing Type. This means that each job can only have one invoicing process, (bearing in mind that you can add lines manually to an invoice). Consequently there needs to be thought as to how to set up the Charge Types to achieve the invoicing results that you need.

Billing Type	Used for:-	Basis for Invoice calculation	Comment
No Charge	For jobs which will never be invoiced. E.g. overhead and admin jobs.		Job is not billable. Does not require a Billing Consolidation option.
Header	Use for Header Jobs where you want to invoice costs from the Subjobs but not the Header Job		Costs can be expensed to these jobs but cannot be sold. The Get sales button will display only the Subjobs with costs to bill.
Quoted	For billing	Manually entered invoice values	The Get Sales button will never appear for a quoted job. Invoicing will be done from the Enter Job Invoice screen by manual entry of a Job Invoice Line.
Input Based	For billing	Selling Price from the Job Cost transactions or Purchase Order Lines
Output Based	For billing	Job Outputs with a Sell Rate selected from a Contract Schedule
Input Output Based	For billing	Mix of Input and Output Based is allowed
Claim Schedule	For billing	From Schedule Outputs selected from Contract Schedules, entered in Contract Claims via the Contracts module	For billing of Contracts only
Internal	Internal Sales from one internal job (as revenue) to another internal job (as costs)	Selling Price from the Job Cost transactions or Purchase Order Lines (as for Input Based)	This job is charged internally with an internal sale.
