Invoice to payment follow-up

Billing Operations Manager prepares an invoice for a customer and adds the products and service periods on its lines. A line can point to a revenue schedule. That reference helps Revenue Accountant compare billed service dates with the recognition period, while Collections Specialist follows the receivable separately. The invoice retains a billing run and organization where applicable.
