Billing can be created from the business level or center level. There are two types of billing methods; defined and transactional. Follow this link for directions to find out the differences between the billing types.
Transactional billing allows users to run billing for future periods and different billing cycles. This means that admins can select the post date, time frame, and category that will be billed. If new students register for a program, billing for the exact period can be created. Any students that were already billed for the selected settings, will not bill again.
