Billing Code Enter the code you want to use. This can be up to six alphanumeric characters long. You may want to consider a descriptive code: DAYCAR for a day care tuition fee, for example. If you use numbers of fewer than six characters, leading zeros will be inserted. Billing Description Enter a phrase that sums up the purpose of the billing code: "Registration fee for toddlers' class," for example. Fee Description Select a fee to associate with this billing code. The list of fees are set up in the Fees section of the Define Lists window. Default Frequency/Amount Enter the frequency and amount to use when assigning this code to customers. These are only defaults, and you can change them for individual customers after they are assigned. For school or daycare, typically, a billing code is created for each grade for tracking purposes, and the parents' payment frequency is set when being assigned to the student record. Accept Discounts If selected, any discount associated with the customer's record apply to the billing code. This option defaults to selected. However, if the billing code should only apply specific discounts, these should be defined on the Discounts tab. Discounts Tab By default, a billing code accepts all discounts assigned to a customer record; however, you can use this tab to select a specific discount for a billing code if needed. If entered, only those discounts are used from a customer's record when generating mass billing code invoices. However, if your billing code has a discount amount equal to the invoice amount, an error displays, and you must edit the billing code to remove the discount. The Billing tab of the Customer window displays the billing code, original amount, total discount amount for the billing code (based on accepted discounts), and the net total.
