Create a Billing from a Recurring Template

This feature is used primarily when you initialize a contract and need to send out the first sales invoice.

Create a Single Billing from a Single Recurring Billing Template

1. Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Setup tab. Then, under the Automations menu, click Recurring Billings.
2. Select a list view (other than the Recently Viewed list view).
3. Select a Recurring Billing template to use to create a Billing.
4. Once in the single Recurring Billing, click Create Billing.
   Note: The Date for each new Billing Line will automatically default to the Next Billing Date from the Recurring Billing template. This date can be modified, if necessary.
   An intermediate screen displays for previewing the Billing.
5. If satisfied, click Create or Create & Post. 
   Note: When the Create & Post button is clicked (from the detail or list view), an asynchronous posting process is started. This is a form of timing protocol for the system to begin an operation once another one has completed. When all posting requirements are met, the record is posted. If there are errors during the posting process, the posting silently fails and an Activity record is created with details about the failure. This can be accessed from the Today’s Tasks widget on the Homepage or from the All Activities tab on the record.
   
   Best Practice: It is recommended to have the daily Scheduled Post job, which provides the ability for all Billing that have a posting status of “Approved” to automatically post based upon the Next Run Date and Preferred Start Time.
