Intro – Charge #

A charge is a document used to record all completed services delivered to the customer, which will be invoiced in the future. You can choose whether to save a charge as a posting or non-posting transaction.

For a posting transaction, the system will debit the unbilled revenue account and credit the income account for the item. When creating a new invoice, unbilled charges can be included in the invoice details. During invoice processing, if the charge is a posting transaction, the system will credit the unbilled revenue account and debit Accounts Receivable (A/R).

• Each charge document can contain only one detail line or one service item.
• Charge does not support inventory items. You can record only service or charge item.
