Salesforce Billing creates invoices for different groups of order products based on
several order and order product fields. This process is useful for invoicing certain types of
order products separately from your other order products. It’s also useful if your account
managers want one invoice record for all their orders. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)

When your invoice run evaluates an order, it checks several fields when deciding how to group
order products as invoice lines on an invoice.
By default, the invoice run groups order products by their matching Billing Account
fields.
If the order product billing account is null, the invoice run uses the order’s Billing
Account field.
If the order’s billing account is null, the invoice run uses the order’s Account
field.
If the billing account has order products with different payment terms, it then groups the
order products by matching payment terms.
You can define more levels of grouping with the order product’s Invoice Group field. After
your invoice run groups order products by their billing account and payment terms, it then
considers the order’s invoice grouping.
Contract Number
Order products are grouped by matching contract numbers. Salesforce Billing references
the contract number on the order product’s originating subscription record.
Order
Salesforce Billing places all of this order’s order products on the same invoice.
Order PO Number
Order products are grouped by matching order PO numbers.
Legal Entity
Order products are grouped by matching legal entities.
Separate Invoice
Every order product on this order is placed into a separate invoice.
Invoice Group ID
Users can create a
custom
Invoice Group ID field. Salesforce Billing groups order products by
matching invoice group ID values.
Finally, if any order products in your group have different currencies, each combination of
the invoice group field and a currency type receives a separate invoice.
Create Invoice Group IDs Salesforce Billing offers a way to customize invoice groups so that customers can bill order products matching certain criteria. This process is useful for separating invoices that don’t share the same billing or payment terms. It’s also helpful for combining several order products into one invoice. By defining an Invoice Group ID, you get to control how and when you invoice an order product. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
Billing Rule Amendment Settings Use billing rules to adjust billing dates following amendments to recurring service plans. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
Consolidating Order Products to One Invoice Line Salesforce Billing can combine the data from an order product and a revised order product into one invoice line. This feature is useful if you invoice a recurring order product, amend it, and must account for the amended order product on future invoices. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
