Bill subscriptions and renew a billing schedule
Objective. Turn a recurring engagement into a reliable billing schedule, prepare each expected invoice and renew the plan without creating duplicate budget lines or invoices.
What you will learn
- Create monthly, quarterly, annual or custom billing schedules.
- Understand the transition from a billing budget to a draft and then an issued invoice.
- Renew recurring budgets while controlling dates, amounts and duplicates.
Recommended workflow
- Confirm the client, matter, issuing company, contract period, total amount and billing frequency.
- Create the schedule with stable sales codes, descriptions, dates, amounts and VAT treatment.
- Review the number of instalments, first and last dates and total value before invoice preparation.
- Issue due invoices, confirm that billed instalments are no longer proposed and document the renewal of the next period.
Checks before continuing
- The number of instalments multiplied by the instalment amount matches the contractual total.
- Renewal does not overlap an existing schedule or an already issued invoice.
- Payment terms and customer billing conditions are checked before the first invoice.
