WO> Additional Billings
Processing Additional Billings
Summary
The Additional Billings process is used to apply Small Tool Rate and Admin Fee Rate fees to work orders before final billing. Because this process relies on menu items only applicable to Wisconsin users, Additional Billings will only function properly if WI is selected in the System Setup Window (SS> Utilities> Setup).
The default Small Tool and Admin Fee rates are specified on the respective maintenance windows. Those rates can be overridden on the Settings step of the Additional Billings process. These rates will be used in conjunction with the billing percentage specified in the AR Accounts field on the included work orders. For example, if an Additional Billings batch is processing $1,000 in work order details, but the AR account percentage on the work order is set to 90%, the Small Tools and Admin Fee rates will be calculated against $900 in work order details.
