Contractors handling huge projects -- like installing fixtures in a stadium -- often want to order everything necessary for the job upfront to ensure that it is on hand when they need it.

At the same time, they want to receive the material in stages and to pay for it as they receive it. Activant lets you handle this through Lot Billing capabilities. This feature enables you to first deliver and bill the contractor for rough-in materials, then invoice and deliver finished goods at a later date.

In addition, you can use Lot Billing functionality when quoting orders. When contractors request quotes for large projects, you can give them one price on the entire lot or individual lot prices for rough-in or finished goods. Quoting items in this manner prevents customers from shopping around and pricing goods individually, increasing your sales volume and improving your profit margins.
