Use this page to record a service for use on commercial documents. You decide how the service is identified and which price, unit, and description Billnado proposes by default. You need access to the active administration and an active Billnado licence.
General
| Field or setting | Meaning and rules |
|---|---|
| Name | The recognisable service name Billnado uses in lists, selections, and documents. |
| Sku | The internal item code. An SKU cannot contain spaces. |
| Category | The item category used to group and find services. |
| Description | Detailed information about the service in formatted text. |
| Standard selling price | The selling price Billnado proposes when you add the service to a document. The price cannot be negative. |
| Standard unit | The usual unit for the service, such as hour, day, or job. |
| Import 'description' in documents | Copies the service description when you use the service on a document. |
The default values make new documents quicker to complete. You can still change them on a document when that document workflow permits it.
Creating the service
Choose Create service when the information is correct. Billnado creates an active service and then opens the new service record. The service is immediately available in service selections on documents.
If Billnado cannot save the service, the completed page remains available and an error message appears at the top. Check the information and try again.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to enter an SKU myself?
No. You can create the service without an SKU. If you enter one, do not use spaces.
Do I have to enter a price and unit?
No. You can add both later on the service record. Without default values, you need to enter the missing information each time you use the service on a document.
Does the description automatically appear on documents?
Only when Import 'description' in documents is enabled. This setting determines whether Billnado proposes the saved service description.
