Adding Billable Charges
Overview
A Billing Specialist may want to create a Billable Charge manually for a number of reasons:
- Invoicing a one-off item that's not in Bullhorn Time & Expense.
- Billing an expense report, permanent placement, or supplemental charge such a drug screen.
- Creating an invoice without a preceding billable charge.
This article contains information on how to manually create and edit billable charges.
These instructions refer to the default terms related to Billable Charges and may vary from how your system was configured.
Before You Begin
You must have the appropriate action entitlements in order to create or edit Billing Charges version. Please contact Bullhorn Support to review and adjust your action entitlements.
Working with Billable Charges
Billable Charges inherit many of their field values from the associated Billing Profiles, Invoice Terms, Job Codes, and Locations.
Steps
Add Billable Charge
- Navigate to the Billable Charges list.
- Select Add Billing Charge to open the Add Billable Charge slideout.
- Complete the following sections and select Save:
These lists include all fields available for Billable Charges. Entitled users may change field labels and sort order in Field Maps using the Billable Charge entity.
Candidate and Billing Information
Field Label Description Description of Charge User-specified text description. Period End Date The End Date for transactions included in the Billable Charge. Placement The Placement associated with the Billable Charge. Pay & Bill displays active Placements as options.
Billing Profile The Billing Profile associated with the Billable Charge. Pay & Bill displays active Billing Profiles associated with the Client Corporation Placements as options.
Account Ownership
Pay & Bill supports up to 5 general segment entities for Billable Charges and Placements. During configuration, clients determine if they need Accounting Ownership field(s) and the label(s) and drop-down values.
When creating a new Billable Charge:
- The Accounting Ownership fields default to the Accounting Ownership Placement fields.
- You can override one or more of the Accounting Ownership fields associated with the Placement.
- You can enter Accounting Ownership fields directly on the Billable Charge (bypassing Placement selection).
Field Label Description Class Class is the default label for the generalLedgerSegment1ID. Country Country is the default label for the generalLedgerSegment4ID. Department Department is the default label for the generalLedgerSegment3ID. Division Division is the default label for the generalLedgerSegment2ID. Location Location is the default label for the generalLedgerSegment5ID.
Attachments Pay & Bill allows Billing Specialists to upload one or more attachments to a Billable Charge. Attachments must be in an accepted file format and no larger than 10 MB. (The Billable Charge slideout displays the latest supported attachment file formats.)
When Pay & Bill saves an attachment, it assigns it a unique identifier. As a result, users may upload multiple files with the same name.
Ready to Bill Override Bill Transactions
Select Add Bill Transaction if you need to add an additional line.
