AGRIS Customer Documentation

Adding an Agreement

Overview

Use this job aid to add budget billing agreements.  For example for Liquid Propane you would create an agreement outlining that the customer is planning to collect 10 gallons at a cost of 2.914 a gallon.  Every month the custom will be billed 29.14 for the length of the agreement, no matter how many gallons the customer actually collects.  At the end of the time frame (usually 12 months) the agreement would be reconciled and closed.  Agris will compare how many gallons were actually bought to how much was paid and create an Invoice (customer picked up more than agreement and owes you money) or Voucher (customer picked up less and you owe him) that will show on his next statement.

Prior to setting up budget billing agreements, you must setup the Budget Billing Defaults in Accounts Receivable > Setup Information > General Information. The Default Billing Day of Month for Budget Agreements, Default Reconcile Month for Budget Agreements, Default Invoice Type for Recurring Invoices, and Default Invoice Terms for Recurring Invoices boxes must be completed before adding budget billing agreements.
