Configuring Require Line Items
The Require Line Items configuration mandates service providers to create a Line Item Invoice by itemizing labor, materials, and other charges for the trades or categories that you specify. When configured, all service providers servicing the selected trades and categories are required to break down labor, material, or other costs on every invoice generated.
This configuration is beneficial for both facility operators and service providers:
- Facility operators can track expenses and manage budgets more efficiently.
- Service providers will not spend unnecessary time itemizing invoices facility operations may not need itemized.
You may add or remove trades and categories for labor, material, or other charges at any time.
Invoices with Require Line Items configured cannot have Labor, Material, or Other amounts less than zero.
- Under the Require Line Items section, click +Add / Remove Trades or +Add / Remove Categories under the required Line Item. The Trades or Categories overlay appears.
- Check the box(es) next to the desired trades or categories.
- Click OK. The selected trades or categories list next to the Line Item.
- Click Save. A green dialog box appears as confirmation of your changes.
