Sales Order - Advanced Billing Reports
An advanced billing is a document that you send to your customers to acknowledge the sale and to collect payment prior to the shipment of the ordered goods. The Advanced Billing Reports allow you to print advanced billing and advanced billing pick list documents as well as other reports that provide summary and detailed information on advanced billings.
Each of the Advanced Billing Reports is especially designed to provide several options so you can narrow down data to the specific information needed. Read the information below to get a closer look at each of the Advanced Billing Reports available in AccountMate. Print Advanced Billing
The Print Advanced Billing function allows you to print or preview the Advanced Billings. An Advanced Billing document is a sales invoice created prior to the sales order shipment; it helps facilitate a faster billing process for your customers and serves also as a reference document. You can select to print all unprinted advanced billings, all previously printed advanced billings or both. You can also opt to print only for an alignment test and to show encrypted credit card information on the report. You can print an advanced billing on a pre-printed form or on an ordinary paper. You can configure these settings in the SO Module Setup -> Printing tab.
