How Bill To Information Is Used in the Event Sales ProcessThe Bill To information is automatically transferred to the quote and may be used during other stages of the event planning. When an order is created for an event, its Bill To information defaults to the event's Bill To information. The user can manually change the information if, for example, a function is billed to a different company, or the contact for a bill changes. Bill To information is also referenced when generating an Event Check. Managing Event Deposits Using the Opportunity Bill To FormDuring the event sales process, the customer may be required to pay one or more deposits that are applied to the event's final cost. For example, the deposit might include $750 due with the signed contract, the contracted deposit might be payable at the time of a signed agreement, with 50 percent of the estimated balance due 30 days before the event, and the balance due 72 hours before the event. In a typical scenario, the sales representative records the amount of the deposit, and when it is due. When the customer remits the first deposit payment, the sales representative records the amount received, the date it is received, and completes the turnover process to Event Management. As additional deposit funds are remitted by the customer, the Event Manager revisits the Billing Information view, records the latest deposit, and the date received. This process continues until all of the deposits are received. The last deposit recorded appears in the Billing Information form field.
