For example, you can decide if CAM, Electricity charges to be included in the same bill or there should be separate bills for Electricity &amp; separate bills for CAM.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Tariffs: <\/strong>What are the different tariffs\/ rates that will be applicable like \u2013 Grid Charge, DG Charge, Maintenance Charge, Delayed Payment Charges, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><strong>Bill Cycle: <\/strong>What is the period of a bill. For example \u2013 start date, end date for a bill. Any cycle can also contain \u2013 Due Date, Payment consideration details, etc. so that users have better control and change as per the needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You have the flexibility to add and configure as many bill plans as you want. So if any user wants to generate CAM and Electricity Bills separately he can configure 2 bill plans say CAM, &amp; Electricity for their commercial or residential properties.\u00a0 Similarly, charges also can also be configured as per your needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Useful links<\/h2>\n<p><a title=\"What is different data input required to start billing?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/what-is-different-data-input-required-to-start-billing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is different data input required to start billing?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"What are different bill formats?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/what-are-different-bill-formats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are different bill formats?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to add new bill plan?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-add-new-bill-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to add new bill plan?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to configure payment conditions for bill plan?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-configure-payment-conditions-for-bill-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to configure payment conditions for bill plan?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to map customers to a bill plan?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-map-users-to-a-bill-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to map customers to a bill plan?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to add tariff for bill generation?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-add-tariff-for-bill-generation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to add tariff for bill generation?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to Add\/import meter reading?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-import-meter-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Add\/import meter reading?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How to check ledger of a customer\/resident?\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-check-ledger-of-a-customer-resident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to check ledger of a customer\/resident?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SAP ERP Integration with iBill\" href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/sap-integration-with-ibill-by-factech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAP ERP Integration with iBill<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-custom-fields'>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-permalink'>\n\t\n\t<a href='https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/ufaqs\/how-to-get-started-with-billing\/'>\n\t\t\n\t\tPermalink\t\t <div class='ewd-ufaq-permalink-image'><\/div> \t\n\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"respond\" class=\"comment-respond\">\n\t\t<h3 id=\"reply-title\" class=\"comment-reply-title\">Leave a Reply <small><a rel=\"nofollow\" id=\"cancel-comment-reply-link\" href=\"\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ufaq\/1381#respond\" style=\"display:none;\">Cancel reply<\/a><\/small><\/h3><p class=\"must-log-in\">You must be <a href=\"https:\/\/factech.ai\/blog\/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Ffactech.ai%2Fblog%2Fufaqs%2Fhow-to-get-started-with-billing%2F\">logged in<\/a> to post a comment.<\/p>\t<\/div><!-- #respond -->\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-back-to-top'>\n\t\n\t<a class='ewd-ufaq-back-to-top-link'>\n\t\tBack to Top\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A How to get started with bill generation?
