The Automated Billing module is used in Australia to bill and accredited employers. These cover multiple contracts from multiple departments.

•     Apply rules to determine if activity is billable
•     Apply rules to determine the contract
•     Apply rules to determine Service Item Code that contracts use and whether or not user approval is required
•     Users - with permission - can approve the activity for billing
•     Users - with permission - can change prices for variable price items
•     Create invoices to send to clients who are paying for the activity
•     Create invoice files for uploading to your financial system
•     Keeps track of payments with the processing of remittance files
•     Create payment and credit note files for uploading to your financial system.

The goal of the module is not to remove human involved in the billing process, but rather to ensure that the rules are applied consistently and accurately. Where there is an element of judgement or where the incoming data is not considered to be sufficiently reliable, the activity can be flagged for user approval. Also, we can start to identify potentially billable items. These can be presented to the user for investigation and if necessary, the source data can be corrected allowing the activity to be billed.
