Add or Modify Charge Records (for fees and services)

Add or Modify Charge Records (for fees and services)

Overview

Use the Charges form to set up records for revenue for which you do not incur costs directly but for which you charge your customers (a registration fee, for example).

You can also set up charges for contracts where you bill your customers in advance. For example, if a customer prepays installments on a time and materials research contract, you could set up charges to generate billing for the prepayments. If you set up no charge categories for your costs, you avoid billing your customer twice for the same work. (Your invoice for your actual costs would itemize the time and materials you expended, but it would not contain amounts.)
