<figure><img src="/files/HDmF2e95dRTvvz9I4qVy" alt="" width="480"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Billing Settings allow adjustments for the information requested and presented in the **Billing** tab. The options provided and their relation are as follows:

* **Starting Invoice #**: Devices the *starting* invoice number to be used during **Billing**.
  * *Note: This setting will not affect the invoice number sequence past the very first invoice*
* **Default Invoice Break***:* Defines when to create a new invoice number for a group of tickets. This sequence must begin with **Customer**, then subsequent break settings can be selected in any order of the following:
  * *Order*: Creates a new invoice for each customer order.
  * *PO:* Creates a new invoice number for each purchase order established on an order.
  * *Tax Code:* Creates a new invoice number for each tax code set on the ticket.
  * *Product:* Creates a new invoice for each different version of a Product on an Order
  * *Yard:* Creates a new invoice for each yard.
  * *Ticket UDFs:* Creates a new invoice for each different entry of your User Defined Fields.
* **Billing Export Format:** Choose your third-party accounting system to define how Fast-Weigh billing data will interface.
* **Optional Invoice Prefix:** If using direct accounting integration, you may add a short prefix to your invoices to avoid any duplicate invoice numbers being created in your third-party accounting system.
* **Company Codes:** This three=digit company code corresponds to the one used with your accounting system. If your accounting system doesn't use a three-digit company code, you can simply use the first three letters of your company name instead.
* **GL AR Account:** Corresponds to the GL AR Account used in your third-party accounting system.
* **AR Tax:** Corresponds to the AR tax code used in your third-party accounting system.
* **External Tax Service:** Used to connect a third-party service, like Avalara, to control Tax Codes.

The Order/Ticket settings allows adjustment of select information when reviewing tickets, orders, and products.

* **Units of Measure**: Defined global units of measurement used during [Product Setup](/fast-weigh-knowledge-base/references/web-portal/resources/products.md).
* **Default Tax Code By:** Used to determine the order of Tax Code Defaults.
  * *Customer:* New Order-Products use the Products default tax code if it is set first, then use the Customer if no Product default is set.
    * Ex: Used when you primarily control tax by Customer, but have some products that are ***always*** exempt.
  * *Product*: New Order-Products use the Customer default tax code if it is set first, then use the Product if no default is set.
    * Ex: Used when you primarily control tax by the Product and Location, but have some Customers that are ***always*** exempt.
