Billing Contacts - User Guide
Assign dedicated billing contacts to customers and streamline your invoicing workflow in ServiceBox.
ServiceBox allows you to designate specific contacts as billing contacts for a customer. This helps streamline invoicing by enabling users to select a "Bill To" contact when generating invoices from work orders.
Step 1: Request Feature Activation
To begin using the billing contact feature:
-
Contact the ServiceBox support team and request that they activate the Billing Contact feature for your subdomain.
-
Once activated, you will see a new column labelled 'Billing Contact' in your settings, located under Customer > Contact Types.
Step 2: Set Up a Billing Contact Type
-
Navigate to Settings > Customer > Contact Types.
-
Use the blank row to create a new Contact Type, or click the edit icon next to an existing contact type
-
Ensure the Billing Contact box is checked off
- Click the green checkmark icon to save
Step 3: Assign a Billing Contact to a Customer
-
Open the customer profile.
-
Navigate to the Contacts tab.
-
If the Contact hasn't been assigned a contact type, a blank space will appear between the date on the right side (see Lydia Deeds in the screenshot below). If the Contact has been assigned a Contact Type, it will be displayed on the right side, underneath the date (see Otho Fenlock below).
-
Select the desired contact from the list.
-
A panel will appear on the right.
-
From the list of contact types, choose the Billing Contact type you just created.
-
Click Save.
✅ You can assign multiple billing contacts to a customer, if needed.
Step 4: Create an Invoice with a Billing Contact
When creating an invoice from a work order for a customer with assigned billing contacts:
-
A dropdown will appear, allowing you to select a Bill To contact.
-
Choose the appropriate billing contact from the list.
Step 5: View the Billing Contact on the Printed Invoice
The selected billing contact will appear in the Bill To section on the printed invoice, as shown in the example screenshot.
