Enter Staged Billing Template

Explanation

This activity is used to create a staged billing template. A staged billing template can be created if an identical staged billing profile is to be applied to all customer order lines. In such a case, all the customer order lines will automatically receive identical stage profiles. It is possible, however, to change the staged billing profile for any separate customer order line. It is not possible to connect a staged billing template to a customer order header or a line if both the Delay Cost of Sold Goods to Delivery Confirmation and Confirm Deliveries check boxes on the order header are selected.

Prerequisites

• A customer order header must have been entered and saved.
• The template must have been created before you enter the order lines, which are going to be affected by the template.

Note 1: It is not possible to save a customer order line with consignment stock. It is not possible to connect a staged billing template to a customer order header or a line if both the Delay Cost of Sold Goods to Delivery Confirmation and Confirm Deliveries check boxes on the order header are selected.
Note 2: If there is a required prepayment amount defined for the customer order, it is not possible to use staged billing.

System Effects

A staged billing template is connected to the customer order header. All customer order lines which are created later than the staged billing template will be given the same staged billing profile. Customer order lines created prior to the staged billing template will not be affected by the template.
