Overview

The Merge Billing process will combine Billing Lines into a single Billing where the customer is the same. This tool is used to consolidate multiple Billing records into a single Accounts Receivable record. For example, let's say you wanted to bill timecard entries and expense reports in the same Billing to a customer. You could create time card Billings and expense report Billings and then merge them. 

The Billing record with the largest value for Billing name will be preserved as the “merged” Billing when two Billing records are combined. Up to 200 Billings can be selected to merge at one time.

The “Billing fields to Merge” field set is available for adding custom fields that you want to be included as part of the Merge Billing process. For more information, refer to the Edit a Field Set article.
