Billing

  • Automatically produces the types of standard billings most commonly required by project-oriented organizations, and provides extensive flexibility for creating cost-based, hours-based, unit-based, or generic billings.
  • Creates project product, customer product, manual, standard, and milestone/percent complete bills in any currency.
  • Prints supporting schedules for labor or other costs for standard bills only.
  • Provides standard billing computations and formats for billings to the United States government.
  • For users of the government's Invoicing, Receipt, Acceptance and Property Transfer (iRAPT) system, creates FTP files to upload invoices to the iRAPT (standard bills and progress payment bills only).
  • Using the ACRN (Accounting Classification Reference Number), invoices data at the billing level for projects that are calculated using the Calculate Standard Bills application (standard bills only). Manual and progress payment invoices are not included. The ACRN functionality in Costpoint is compatible with iRAPT functionality but only for standard invoices.
