Contractors handling huge projects - like installing air conditioning units in an office building - often want to order all of the parts necessary for the job up front to ensure that everything they need is on hand when they need it.

But, they want to receive the material in stages and to pay for it as they receive it. Prophet 21 lets you handle this through Lot Billing capabilities. These capabilities enable you to first deliver and bill the contractor for rough-in materials, then invoice and deliver finished goods at a later date.

As a supplier, you benefit from Prophet 21's Lot Billing capabilities, too. When contractors submit requests for 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.
