Use billing cycles

*To do these business operations...*	*Use these functions*
Set up as many Receivables processing periods as you need, to split up your customer list for billing at different times. For example, you can set up cycles "1Cycle 1-15" and "2Cycle 16-31" for billing half your customers on the 15th and half on the last day of the month. You must set up at least one billing cycle. If all your customers are processed and billed at the same time, you set up a single billing cycle and assign all customers to it.	Receivables Configure Billing Cycles
Assign a billing cycle to each customer from those you have set up.	Receivables Configure Customers
You then use the Billing Cycle Checklist to process customers. Use the window to Apply finance charges Apply recurring charges Print statements Age invoices The checklist helps you remember to do all the processing in the recommended sequence and prevents you from doing any of the steps more than once per cycle.
