# Payment Schedules and Payment Schedule Items

    Automate the creation of payment schedules and payment schedule items so that they are ready to be processed.

    Instead of automatically creating payment schedules and payment schedule items, you can create them manually.
- **[Group Multiple Invoices into a Single Payment Request](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.billing_payments_consolidate_invoices.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Reduce payment gateway calls and gateway transaction fees by combining multiple invoices of an account into a single payment request. When you post invoices for an account, Billing automatically consolidates qualifying invoices into one payment schedule and one payment schedule item.
