The Facility Billing tab is available only if you have the Facilities Management module for Theatre Manager. If you do not have Facilities Management, but are interesting in finding out more about the module, click here.
The Facility Billing tab allows you to track income vs expenses for a specific task within a project. For example, if you need to hire an usher, you can track the payroll for the usher according to your pre-set usher cost and General Ledger structure, and expense that to a specific project.
Much of the Facility Billing tab will be filled in by default if the activity has been properly setup inSetup>>System Tables>>Code Tables>>Volunteer/Personnel Activity. For more information on setting up Code Tables, click here.
