This webinar focused on demonstrating how Group Billing worked within the Midnight system. It was part of an eight‑session series designed to help users understand key features that could improve workflow and billing efficiency.

Purpose of the Session

The session explained how Group Billing could be used to:

• Consolidate multiple orders, versions, or services into a single custom invoice.
• Simplify billing for recurring or large customer projects.
• Provide customers with clean, easy‑to‑understand billing summaries.

This feature does not affect accounting exports.

Audience Reminder

The material was intended for users of the legacy Midnight system, not the new invoicing module. A separate webinar covering the updated invoicing module was scheduled for the following month.

Overview of Group Billing

The demonstration showed how users could:

• Group together versions and services.
• Produce a cleaner, consolidated invoice layout.
• Improve billing presentations.

Copying Group Billing Settings

The session noted that an Admin setting allowed group billing setups to be copied forward when a job was duplicated. This is particularly useful for customers running recurring, monthly jobs and helps reduce repetitive setup.

Pagination Enhancement

A recent system update had added pagination to the Group Billing screen.
This improvement was made because:

• Some users had large numbers of versions and services.
• Long lists previously caused loading delays or timeout issues.
• Pagination ensured faster performance and more stable loading.

Correction Needed for Column Label

One column—labeled as “Sort/Version”—was identified as mislabeled.
It did not display the version number; instead, it showed the suffix number, such as:

• Base version → Suffix 0
• Second version → Suffix 1

A corrected label was planned for a future release.

Q&A Section

Q. How were Group Billing settings copied when duplicating jobs?

There was an Admin setting that allowed group billing configurations to copy forward automatically when a job was duplicated.

Q. Does Group Billing support postage?

At this time, it does not.
However, postage handling was scheduled to be covered in the upcoming webinar for the new invoicing module.

Q. Why was pagination added when some users preferred the long list?

Pagination was added because:

• Users with many versions and services experienced severe performance issues.
• Large lists sometimes failed to load.
• The update ensured reliability for customers with high-volume jobs.

Q. What does the “Sort Version” column actually represent?

It represents the suffix number, not the version number.
A label correction was planned for a later system update.

Q. Who can users contact for help with Group Billing setup?

Users were advised to reach out to the support team for assistance with job-specific scenarios involving Group Billing.
