Create a Billing from a Recurring Template

Body

Overview

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

Note: Accounting Seed restricts the number of Recurring Billing Lines within a single Recurring Billing to 500 lines to prevent errors based on Salesforce limits when creating records. However, if you have the Large Data Optimizer feature enabled, the line limit is 20,000. Additionally, there is a limit set on how many records can be created at one time using the Create or Create & Post buttons on the Create Billing intermediate screen. The limit is 500 records for Recurring Billing.

Create a Single Billing from a Single Recurring Billing Template

Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Setup tab. Then, under the Automations menu, click Recurring Billings.
Select a list view (other than the Recently Viewed list view).
Select a Recurring Billing template to use to create a Billing.
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.
If satisfied, click Create or Create & Post.

When the Create or Create & Post button is clicked, if you have the Large Data Optimizer feature enabled when using AS Native Tax, with more than one Billing Line and there is no change to the Billing Date, the default message displays to indicate the records will process asynchronously. If Create & Post was clicked, the records will post after the asynchronous job completes.

Note: If the Billing Date is changed, the Billing header record will process immediately, with the Billing Lines processing asynchronously. Later, you can review the Automated Job Results for details about the completed asynchronous job.

If using Avalara’s AvaTax, with the Large Data Optimizer (LDO) feature enabled, the records will process immediately (same as without LDO), the Tax Amount will be calculated, and transactions will be created in Avalara.

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.

Create a Recurring Billing from the List View

Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Setup tab. Then, under the Automations menu, click Recurring Billings.
Select a list view (other than the Recently Viewed list view).
On the appropriate list view, check the box next to each Recurring Billing that should be used to create Billings.
Note: In the list view, Accounting Seed supports batch creation of up to 200 Billings from Recurring Billing templates.
After selecting all the Recurring Billings desired (indicated by the checked boxes), click Create Billing.
An intermediate screen opens for previewing all the Billings about to be created.
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.
If satisfied, click Create or Create & Post to create these records.

When the Create or Create & Post button is clicked, if you have the Large Data Optimizer feature enabled when using AS Native Tax, with more than one Billing Line and there is no change to the Billing Date, the default message displays to indicate the records will process asynchronously. If Create & Post was clicked, the records will post after the asynchronous job completes.

Note: If the Billing Date is changed, the Billing header record will process immediately, with the Billing Lines processing asynchronously. Later, you can review the Automated Job Results for details about the completed asynchronous job.

If using Avalara’s AvaTax, with the Large Data Optimizer (LDO) feature enabled, the records will process immediately (same as without LDO), the Tax Amount will be calculated, and transactions will be created in Avalara.

Note: If the daily Scheduled Post job has been created, all Billings that have a posting status of “Approved” will automatically post based upon the Next Run Date and Preferred Start Time.
