There are two billing scenarios:
IMPORTANT: These settings will only apply to New Invoices.
They will not change existing invoices.
To change existing invoices (once you have made changes as below) the invoice will need to be Open and you can use the 'Fix' menu option at the invoice to change Billing Detail
Scenario 1. Create an invoice for Bill the contact in the database
- Add the contact/find them
- Create an invoice
Scenario 2. If you try to bill a contact in the database, don't allow it. Insead bill someone completely different
1. Add the contact to bill into the database
2. Add the contact you don't want to bill into the database...
... and then go to the 'Customers' tab and select 'Change Billing'
Change Billing gives you three options:
Option 1. CREATE INVOICE FOR ANOTHER CONTACT
The original contact is not going to get billed.
However if you select option 2... the invoice/job sheet/packing slip despatch details will have the original contact on them
Option 2: Place the Current Contact's details in the Despatch To area (See Option 1)
Option 3: ONLY PUT BILLING ON ANOTHER CONTACTS STATEMENT
The invoice will be created for the original contact but when the invoice is closed, the values will appear on another contact's statement
