Billing Unit

A billing unit is a thing a rental is charged for: a room-night, a machine-day, a hall booking. It has a category and a tax group.

What it is for​

Billing units are meant to break a rental line into what is billed. The rental screens carry a Billing Units column on their lines, but today it cannot be filled from either screen (see Rental Quotation). Nothing else reads this list.
