Billing Groups List

Access this report using Reports>Accounts Receivable>Billing Groups.

Use this report to print a list of the billing group information that was set up using the Maintain>Accounts Receivable>Billing Groups form and to print any current one-time charges entered for customers within that Billing Group (Activities>Accounts Receivable>Enter One-Time/Recurring Charges). Billing Groups are used in the A/R Billing module for processing recurring and one-time invoices to a customer.

Additional items, columns, and filters are available if any user defined fields were created by the Administrator using Organization>Set Up User Defined Fields. Only user defined fields with a field type of String, Editable Drop-Down List, Non-Editable Drop-Down List, Date, or Yes/No are available in the Items by Page group box on the Content tab.

User defined fields with a field type of Currency follow the formatting of the organization's functional currency. The functional currency was determined by the Administrator when the organization was created (File>New Organization>Functional Currency panel).
