Guided Setup for Billing

How It Works

The guided experience is structured to help Billing admins complete each step sequentially, ensuring that the Billing setup is accurate and fully operational. The guided setup includes these setup assistants:

• Billing Prerequisites—Set up billing users, assign relevant permission sets, and define billing rules for your products. This step makes sure that authorized personnel manage the billing operations according to clearly defined rules, which boosts both security and accuracy.
• Tax Configurations—Set up the tax engine and configure tax policies to ensure accurate tax calculations and compliance with regional regulations.
• Invoice Configurations—Schedule and manage invoice runs to streamline the invoicing process.
• Accounting Configurations—Streamline the accounting process for your billing transactions by creating accounting periods and legal entity accounting periods.
• Currency Conversion Configurations—View transaction amounts not only in the transactional currency but also in your corporate currency. Enable multiple currencies and Advanced Currency Management. Then, turn on the Billing feature to convert and store transaction amounts in your corporate currency.
• Billing Advanced Features—Turn on the generation and email delivery of invoice documents. Manage the document template and email template that are used to generate and email invoice documents. You can also set up a chart of accounts for your legal entities, assign appropriate general ledger accounts to transaction journals, and automatically create dual transaction journals for your billing transactions.
• Payment Configurations—Set up payment processing for your billing transactions. Configure native payment gateways, payment schedule policies, payment schedules, and related payment records. Then, schedule payment batch runs to process payments and apply them to invoices or invoice lines.
  

  Note

  For Salesforce orgs that are created in Winter ’26, the Configure Payment Gateways button in Step 7: Payment Configurations of the Billing Guided Setup, which redirects users to the Payment Gateway Configuration tab, is available by default. For Salesforce orgs that are created before Winter ’26, the Payment Gateway Configuration tab isn’t available by default. To fix this issue, change the settings of the Payment Gateway Configuration tab to Default On.
