How do I bill storage for a recovered vehicle?

Record the vehicle IN on Service Object Movement; at billing time create a Storage Order from that movement, then a Billing Proposal.

Steps​

  1. Storage Order: Transaction Date, Till Date, Customer. On a line pick the IN Movement: Date From, Date To and Days fill in. Adjust days if needed, give the daily price. Save.
  2. Billing Proposal: pick the storage order lines. Save.
  3. Invoice: in Receivables, on a towing billing proposal journal, pick the proposal; post it.

If something looks wrong​

  • "Line ID: … - Service Object is out, you can select date to …" - the vehicle left earlier.
  • "Line ID: … - Days cannot be zero or negative" - check the dates.
