Freeze

Clicking Freeze causes all freezable bill segments to become frozen. Refer to Bill Segment Lifecycle for more information about freezing.

This button is enabled if:

the Freeze At Will Bill Segment Freeze Option on the installation option has been selected AND
freezable bill segments exist AND
there are no error, incomplete or pending cancel bill segments.

Note:

Freezing a day or more after generation. If, during freezing, bill segments in closed accounting periods are detected, a pop-up appears in which you can specify a new accounting date; this date is updated onto the offending bill segments. This only happens if the accounting period closes before you freeze the bill segments (the accounting date is stamped on a bill segment when it's generated).

If, after freezing, you're ready to send the bill to the taxpayer click Complete to finalize the bill.

Note:

If problems are detected after freezing. A bill segment may not be changed after it is frozen. All subsequent changes must occur by canceling the frozen bill segment and creating a new bill segment. Refer to How To Cancel A Bill Segment and How To Cancel / Rebill A Bill Segment for more information.
