Each setup form focuses on a different area.

Form Description
Summary This form shows you all of the work that you have done on the other forms.
Options Use this form to make basic decisions about how clients will be billed, including invoice numbering, whether retainers and retainage are tracked, and whether you use an approval process for invoices.

For more information, see the Retainers, Retainage Overview, and Invoice Approval Overview help topics.

Fee Choose whether or not to use scheduled billing. Scheduled billing allows you to invoice fee-based projects based on scheduled invoice dates and percent complete or dollar amounts. For more information, see the Scheduled Billing help topic.
Invoice Format On this form, specify whether or not to display your company name, byline, and address on billing invoices.
Invoice Accounts During final invoice processing, invoice transactions are charged to general ledger revenue accounts. Use this form to specify the default revenue account for each section of your invoice. For example, specify the revenue account associated with fee billings.

You can also use this tab to enter the label that displays above each invoice section.

Taxes Use this form to set up the taxes that you need to calculate and include on invoices. For each tax, specify the tax rate, the invoice sections to which it should be applied (labor, expense, fees, and so on), and the general ledger account to which the tax is charged.
