Bill Line Item Options
When creating a bill, you'll have to make a choice as to what information you want to transfer across to the bill, except for when you've entered quantities on a purchase order for items that are yet to be billed. Scenarios

Description |
---|---|
Create Bill for items ordered that have not been billed yet | This will create a bill and include only the line items on the order which haven't already had a bill created for them (i.e. quantity ordered - quantity billed). Quantity billedFor bills created from purchase orders, you'll need to record the quantities received on the bill. For bills created from work orders, your quantities will transfer to the bill. Edit these if necessary. If this is the first bill you're creating for a work order, this option and Create Bill for all items ordered will act in the same way. |
Create Bill for all items ordered | This will create a bill and include all line items on the order, regardless of whether they've been received or not. You may need to check/edit your quantities on the bill for these items. This is helpful if you want to quickly mark all of your items as being received, e.g. for subsequent purchase orders where you know the items received are an exact match with what was ordered. |
Create Bill with no line items | A bill will be created with no line items. You can still manually add the purchase or work order items if necessary. |
