Within the general info you may choose if a client will receive separate invoices for each location or a single invoice for all locations. If you choose a single invoice for all locations, all client locations must use the same billing option and billing interval. If you need to change this option or change the billing option, billing interval or start of the billing cycle, you’ll have to recreate the entire commercial account.

Within the billing contact section you need to enter billing info which will be displayed on the invoice. This information includes contact name, company name, contact’s role and billing address. Here you may also select if the contact will be receiving job notifications, invoices via email and if you would like field techs to see contact information within the field tech app.
If you do not know the commercial billing contact first and last name, you may use Billing Department.

Under the service address section you need to enter the location address where the service will be provided. For service info it is necessary to enter service name, frequency, billing option, billing interval, price and start of the billing cycle. If an initial cleanup is not required you may uncheck that option. After adding a new client you will need to assign the client location (See Unassigned Locations tutorial) unless the app reuses the previous location assignment.
