Next Steps

  • Optional: Bill Runs need to be setup and associated with a bill group in order to bill the accounts that are under a bill group. This step can be performed later when you are ready to bill an account if desired. See the Bill Run Configuration Example article for an example of how to configure bill runs

  • Optional: If you utilize General Ledger codes you can configure these now or at a later time. See the General Ledger (GL) Code Configuration Example article for a configuration example

  • You have now configured the system to the point where the products you wish to sell can be setup. The first step is to setup service types which are used when configuring services. See the Service Type Configuration Example for an example of how to setup service types
