Billing

Service Description

Billing provides agencies a solution that supports multiple types of customer billing including fixed, ad hoc or recurring. Billing integrates with Project Costing and Customer Contracts modules to produce batch generated invoices for project cost recovery or fixed fee scenarios. Billing generates pro-forma bills for review, finalizes bills and passes completed invoices to Accounts Receivable for cash application. Accounting entries for revenue recognition can be generated and sent to General Ledger for posting to agency ledgers.

How Do We Charge?

There is no additional charge for the actual use of the Billing module. Agencies with the desire to implement the use of this module will most likely find that they will want consulting assistance to assist them with adapting their current processes to the statewide use of the system. If consulting assistance is necessary, the Office of State Finance (OSF) will assist in finding the best available resource. OSF will also contract with the consultant and bill the agency through an interagency agreement for the consulting services.
