Create Billing from Sales Order (Standard Cost)

Body

Overview

The Sales Order to Billing feature allows users to create a customer Billing from the Sales Order with a single click. Users will be able to create and post Billings directly from the Sales Order object. A Billing can be created for a full or partial Sales Order. This functionality will carry over applicable information from the Sales Order and Sales Order Lines to the Billing and Billing Lines, respectively.

  5. On the Create Billing intermediate screen, the Customer Account and Ledger field will auto-populate. These fields cannot be edited.
  6. The Billing Date field will auto-populate. This is a required field and if needed, this field can be edited.
    Note: The Billing Date field is auto-populated with the date the Billing was created.

    The Sales Order Status field will auto-populate to a status of Open. This is a required field and, if needed, this field can be changed so that users can set the status of their Sales Orders, as per their business process.

    Note: Click here to view the above image in full screen. 

    Note: By selecting a value of 'Yes,' all of the Quantity to Bill fields will auto-populate with the Unbilled Quantities. By selecting a value of 'No,' the Quantity to Bill fields can be manually populated with the desired quantities.

    Note: Any Sale Order Lines will flow through on the Billing as Billing Lines. On the Billing Line a relationship exists to the Sales Order Line. This allows for full traceability from the Billing Line to the Sales Order Line.

    Note: If the Unit Price field is not populated on the Sales Order Line, the price will not flow through to the Billing Lines. The Unit Price must be entered on the Sales Order Line in order to flow through to Billing Lines.

  2. Click Create Billing to create a Billing.
  3. A Billing Edit intermediate screen displays. Make any necessary edits and click Save to save and refresh the Billing.

    Note: These fields on the Billing will default as follows unless you override them when creating a new Billing:
      • Posting Status defaults to Approved.
      • Billing Contact and Billing Address defaults from Account.
      • Shipping Contact and Shipping Address defaults from Account.
      • Billing Format defaults from the Default GL Accounts screen. If there is a different Billing format on the Customer Account, then this will override the Default GL Accounts.
      • Billing Date defaults from the date the Billing is created.
      • Billing Terms Name defaults from Account.
      • Due Date is calculated based on the Billing Date plus Billing Days Due from the Account.
      • Accounting Period defaults based on the Billing Date.
      • Date field on a Billing Line when using New or Mass Add/Edit Rows to add/edit a Billing Line(s) defaults to the Billing Date. Click the X to remove the default date and enter a different date, if necessary.

    You will see a Related List of Billing Lines for each Sales Order Line. This will allow you to see how much has been billed for each Sales Order Line.

Additional enhancements of this feature are as follows:
  • If GL Account Variables 1-4, Project, and Project Task are populated on the Sales Order Line, these fields will be mapped to the Billing Line.
  • The Revenue GL Account set on the Product record will be used as the Revenue GL Account on the Billing Line.

    Do you have a recommended best practice for the following scenario?: A company has a closed won opportunity for a job that is completed in 3 phases. The opportunity has 10 or more product lines on it each of which belongs to a particular phase: 3 to Phase one, 2 to phase two and 5 to phase 3, for example.  The products are shipped and installed based on the phase they belong to.  But the customer is billed in even percentages of the total at each phase. - 50/40/10, or something.

    How do you keep inventory, revenue and COGS in-line?
