Finalize Month

When all billing is compete for the month, the Finalize Month tool will tie up any remaining loose ends for the billing month.
  • Finalize Month will perform the following tasks:
    • Generate charges for any Customers that should have charges added to their accounts, but which have NOT already been Autoposted.
    • Generate finance charges for any Customers that should have had Finance Charges applied, but which have NOT already received Finance Charges.
    • Advance all unpaid charges to the next Aging Bucket.
    • Advance the Billing Month.
  • Before clicking Finalize Month:
    • Be sure that ALL billing is complete for the current billing month.
    • Be sure that ALL manual transactions have been entered for the current billing month.
      • Transactions CAN be entered after Finalize Month has been run, but they will contribute to the next month's bills.
    • Try to ensure that no changes are made to the database while the month is being Finalized.
      • Looking up Customer records is completely fine, but changing data during the Finalization process can occasionally result in errors.



  • After Final Check:
    • Go to Billing Process > Finalize Month.
    • A window will pop up showing the current Billing Month.
      • Verify that this is the month to be Finalized.
    • Click 'Finalize' when ready.
    • When Finalize Month is complete, a confirmation banner will appear. 
      • Click 'OK' to close the window.
