Invoicing a Contract

Run the Contracts to be Invoiced
Report to review which contracts are ready to be invoiced.
Follow the steps in Running the Contracts to be Invoiced Report.
Only contracts with a Billed Thru date earlier than the Contracts to be Renewed Before date are included on the report. For fixed contracts, the Billed Thru date on the contract header is used. For calculated contracts, the Billed Thru date on each contract line is used.
