Overview

Overview

Billing Groups can be used on all contracts as a way to create batch groups (Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, etc...or US BanCorp..). This can also be a way to assign contracts to specific users that manage specific Bill Groups. Billing Groups can be filtered the the Contract Billing Queue as well as E-view reports. If users do not populate that billing Group field (on the Contracts Billing/Contact tab), this alert will notify you.
