Summary
In this example we will bill the sub-account we created in Child Account Creation Example using the package we added in Account Package Configuration Example. Since we set the sub-account to invoice to the parent account we should see a new invoice generated under the parent account when the billing is complete.
For additional details on the fields presented on this screen see the Account Packages screen help.
Prerequisites
In order to bill the account you need to have at least one package in an active status added to the account. See Account Package Configuration Example.
You must have a bill run configured
Process
Log into the LogiSense Billing application
In the search area at the top of the page, set the “Search Filter” to “Account” and then enter the name of the sub-account we created in Child Account Creation Example. Select it from the list and then click the arrow button to go to the accounts overview page
Click on the Profile menu option
On the Account Package screen make note of the Next Bill Date and then click the
button
On the pop-up that appears specify the Bill Run configuration to use to bill this account. Select the Schedule Now option and then click the Run button. One thing to note here is that if your ‘Next Bill Date’ on your package (see screenshot above) doesn’t fall within the “Billing Period Start” and “Billing Period End” dates on the “Bill Account” pop-screen you will have to modify those dates in the bill run configuration to fit the next bill day of your package.
You will see a pop up notice saying the bill run is scheduled to run in the top right of the page
Result
After the bill run completes the options configured in the bill run should take effect (bill packages, generate an invoice, etc.). To validate this:
Check the Next Bill Date on the package billed. They should be updated to their next billing date (a month in this case for a monthly package)
Check to see if an invoice was created by loading the parent account. This can be done by clicking on the account name in the breadcrumb
Next click the Billing menu
The first screen you’ll see is the Invoices screen where the newly created invoice should be displayed. Click on the invoice to bring up the list of transactions that were attached to it from the bill run
