Consolidated Billing

Background and Operating Principle

The consolidated billing feature allows management of contract customers’ credit or account sales at the till or through orders.

When consolidated billing is activated for a customer:

• An invoice made from the till is by default created in Draft status
• Lines from new sales are automatically added to the invoice
• Above the invoice lines, an info text is displayed indicating which individual sale the lines originate from

The invoice can be sent to the customer when:

• The desired total amount is reached, or
• The agreed billing interval is met

Points to note:

• As long as the invoice is in Draft status, new sales are added to the same invoice
• When the invoice is updated to Ready for Billing status, the consolidation ends
• The next sale will create a new invoice
  

How does it affect the merchant’s operations?

• Enables combining multiple sales into a single invoice
• Reduces the amount of invoicing and manual work
• Especially suitable for contract customers and ongoing billing
