User Permissions Needed

Billing Operations User permission set
On the billing schedule, define the invoice grouping type. Consolidated or individual invoice records are created based on the invoice grouping type. 1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Billing Schedule Groups**. 2. Open the billing schedule group that your billing schedule belongs to. 3. Go to the Billing Schedules related list and open the billing schedule. 4. On the Detail tab of the Billing Schedule record, go to the Invoice Group Information section and select an invoice group type: - To generate a consolidated invoice based on the default group, select **Default**. The billing account, bill-to-contact, billing arrangement, currency ISO code, payment term, tax engine, legal entity, and saved payment method of the billing schedule group make up the default group. - To generate a separate invoice for the billing schedule, select **Billing Schedule**. - To generate a consolidated invoice based on your own grouping criteria, select **Custom**. 5. If you select Custom as the invoice group type, enter a custom invoice group key. The custom invoice group key isn't case-sensitive. The key can be contract number, purchase order number, account, legal entity, or your own value. Consolidated invoices are generated when the billing schedules have the same default group and custom invoice group key. While grouping invoices during invoice generation process, the default group is considered first, followed by the custom invoice group key. ![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-revenue-264-0-0-production-enus/91ca99c6-d5c8-4986-b961-c6b7801e0d0d/images/icon_example.png) Example A billing operations user selects specific invoice group types for five billing schedules of an order.

Three separate invoices are generated based on the Invoice Group Type field, and the Custom Invoice Group Key field: - A consolidated invoice is generated for Billing Schedule 1 and Billing Schedule 4 because both of them have the same default invoice group. - A separate invoice is generated for Billing Schedule 2 because its invoice group type is Billing Schedule, which results in generating an individual invoice. - A consolidated invoice is generated for Billing Schedule 3 and Billing Schedule 5 because both of them have the same default invoice group and custom invoice group key.
