Billing For Non-Recurring Items

Billing for NRI's can be managed from the configuration setting under Invoicing called ' NRI Billing'.

This setting provides will below options to bill NRI's

• Bill at Contract Cycle:
  Non-recurring items added to recurring billing contract will be invoiced during the next invoicing cycle of the billing contract, or through a change log invoice if the billing contract frequency is annual or quarterly.
  For example, let's say we have a monthly billing contract with a start date of 1/1/2023. We create an NRI on 17-Jan-2023. This NRI will be billed on the next invoicing cycle of the billing contract, i.e. 2-Feb-2023 (assuming the contract policy is Advanced).
  When Bill at contract cycle is selected or no options are selected, NRIs are billed at contract cycles.
• Bill Immediately
  This options allow to bill NRIs immediately without having to wait for a billing cycle.
  Work 365 invoicing job runs every day. If this option is selected then functionality will check if there are any existing uninvoiced NRIs and if present it will create an invoice against the billing contract to which they are attached.
