Please Note:

• A Billing is a customer invoice. It is also known as an Account Receivable. A billing can be created from the account related list or Billings tab. A billing can also be created from the Opportunity, Recurring Billing, Sales Order, Time Cards, and Expense Reports objects.
  
  
• Use the Proprietary Billing Number field if you are integrating to an external billing system or if you want your own custom invoice number. This can be used for legacy billings for loading history as well.
  
  
• The number of Billing Lines a Billing can have is listed below:
• Billing Lines with no product costing (non-inventory) - 500 lines
• Billing Lines with product costing (inventory) - 250 lines
• Billing Lines with product costing and kitting - 100 lines
  
  

Salesforce will prevent you from deleting a billing with more than 200 billing lines. If you have over 200 billing lines and wish to delete the billing you will need to delete the number of lines in excess of 200 individually. Once there are fewer than 200 lines you will be able to delete the billing.
