Understanding Do & Bill billing
The Do & Bill billing option is used where an invoice should be sent after the works to the site have been completed. Do & Bill also allows a FireMate Administrator to change the charge for the visit, based on the works completed.
Once a Routine Activity has been completed for a Product that is set to Do & Bill, FireMate will automatically create a Service Request, allowing the FireMate Administrator to enter the right amount for the visit, with the option to add any additional charges (such as a callout fee) before generating an invoice.
Do & Bill is a billing type that is applied to the Product Inspection Period which allows for some inspections to be set as Do & Bill, and others to be set as another billing type.
Combining Contract and Do & Bill billing
In some cases, you may wish to bill all monthly Product Inspection Periods under the contract , and set all 5 yearly inspections as the Do & Bill billing method. Doing this results in a recurring invoice for a set amount for monthly inspections, and allows a FireMate Administrator to process the 5 yearly inspections at a different rate.
