# Changing a Property's Billing Contact

## **Purpose**

If you have an open opportunity, and the *Billing Contact* changes as the opportunity progresses, like if your customer is moving to another role and someone new will make payments for the properties; there are some changes you’d need to make in Aspire to make sure the invoices go to the correct contact so payment can be completed.

There are a number of places that you can update the *Billing Contact* for a property, and we will learn where to make those changes in this article.

We will also discuss what is important to pay attention to when this type of change is made in Aspire.

## **Updating the Billing Contact**

To update the *Billing Contact,* you would complete these actions on the *Property* level.

⚠️ When making this change, you have the option to also update the *Billing Contact* on any open opportunities and any invoices not yet generated in the *Invoicing Assistant*.

⚠️ The billing contact update will not affect *Opportunities* with a job status of *Complete* or *Canceled*.

Editing a billing contact from the property screen is usually done when you need to update the billing contact for one or two properties.

If you have a larger amount of property billing contacts to update for a company, then you might want to look at updating them with *Bulk Actions* found in the *Properties* module.

### **For A Property**

✅ Permissions Check: The *Edit Properties* and *Edit Contacts, Edit Billing Contact*, as well as the *Edit Billing* permission need to be enabled to update *Billing Contacts.*

To edit a single property:

- Navigate to the *Properties* module.

### **For Multiple Properties**

If you have more than one property to update to the same billing contact, consider using the *Bulk Action* feature of *Change Billing Contact.*

✅ Permissions Check: The *Edit Properties* and *Edit Contacts, Edit Billing Contact*, as well as the *Edit Billing* permission need to be enabled to update *Billing Contacts.*

⚠️You must have the *Contact* record of the new billing contact already created to use the *Bulk Action* feature.

- Select contact from the drop down menu and then press *Save.*

⚠️ Once you press *Save*, the billing contact is immediately updated.

- The *Confirmation* box appears to ask you if you want to update any open opportunities or open invoices. Check the boxes as needed and then click *Save*.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-ta60l2ki.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

## **Confirming the Change of the Billing Contact**

If you want to confirm if the billing contact was applied to the open opportunities that you updated, there are a few ways you can do this.

⚠️ The billing contact update will not affect *Opportunities* with a job status of *Complete* or *Canceled*.

When you change a billing contact on a property, the contact will be updated on opportunities as long as the job status of the opportunity is not *Complete* or *Canceled*.

If the job status of the work tickets are *Complete* or *Canceled*, the invoices for those opportunities would need to have been paid by the original billing contact, as the change happened after the tickets were no longer active.

### **From the Opportunity Screen**

If you want to confirm that the billing contact has been updated for one opportunity, locate and review the invoice details.

- Go to the *Opportunities* module, search and then select the opportunity that needs to be reviewed.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-9995r4sc.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Click on the *Invoice Type* icon and review the billing contact listed.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-znqt5hm0.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- If the information is not correct, you can update the details listed on the *Invoicing Info* screen and *Save*.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-6yowyli2.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

📌 Note: You can change the billing contact information on the above screen, without affecting what is listed on the property record. It will only apply to the invoices related to this opportunity that are in the *Invoicing Assistant* or batched but not sent.

### **From the Opportunities Module**

You can also confirm if the billing contact has been updated by using the filter and display features in the *Opportunities* module. You can add filter requirements to help you confirm the current billing contact for all of your opportunities.

- Navigate to *Opportunities*.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-wsmj0ixk.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Add the following *Display* and *Filter* fields to the *Search* list for *Opportunities*:

| Display Fields | Billing Contact Full Name |
| --- | --- |
| Filter Fields | - Property Name (select all or some properties) - Job Status ➡️ Not in ➡️ select *Complete* and *Canceled* |

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-gisosrco.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Adding these filter options will show a list of contacts that have billing contacts assigned and help you see who the current billing contact is for your opportunities.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-24k1clfk.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Create a saved list if you need to share this information with others on your team or if you need to do this process often!

## **If the Billing Contact Changes on an Unsent Invoice**

If the billing contact changes on a batched invoice that is in *Draft* status, meaning the invoice has not been sent, then the billing contact will be updated automatically when you change the billing contact at the property level.

For example, we see that the billing contact has changed on the *Property*, but we want to double check the invoices, because a batch with this invoice was created *before* the contact was updated. Let's check to see if it needs to be changed!

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-34ubtlml.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Click *Invoicing* on the blue side menu.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-bzcrqlsi.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Click on *Invoice Batches,* and then search and click on the batch to find your invoice.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-eyy1bfcd.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Once you review the invoice batch, click on your invoice.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-k2r8et6a.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Clicking into the generated invoice displays your invoice details. The billing contact was automatically updated when the *Property* details were updated, because this invoice is in a status of *Draft*.

📌 Note: If you know the invoice number, you could use the *Invoices* tab instead of the *Invoice Batches* tab. Select *Invoicing* ➡️ *Invoices* ➡️ and search by the invoice number; you'd arrive at the same screen shown below.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/changing-a-billing-contact-image-6dtjcvbq.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-13T10%3A26%3A37Z&se=2026-11-13T11%3A26%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=dYN1DTklJtF9ZnTbDGNczfcE9u42L4o%2B89FkG8aQH8E%3D)

- Additionally, before you complete the batch and generate the invoice, you still have a chance to update the billing contact for each invoice before you send.
  - To update one invoice, you would use only the *Billing Contact/Company* drop down on this screen.
  - To update the billing contact on this opportunity's invoice *plus* the *Property*, you would check the box for *Billing Contact Updated After Email Sent*.
- Complete your batch and finish sending your invoice to your contact.

## **If the Billing Contact Changes on a Sent Invoice**

If you need to update the billing contact on an invoice that has already been generated into a batch, and the batch has been completed with the invoice already sent, you will have to *Void and Reset* the invoice.

✅ **Permissions Check:** *Void and Reset* is displayed if you have the *Modify Sent Invoices* permission enabled for your account. You will also need *Edit Billing Contact* and *Edit Billing* permissions*.*

This option allows you to reset the invoice as if it had not been *Sent*, into *Draft* status. Voiding and Resetting is only available if the status of the invoice is *Sent*.

- Click *Invoicing* in the blue side menu.

- Confirm to finish sending this invoice back to batch status.

- The invoice is then changed back to *Draft* status.

🧠 If the invoice was the *only* invoice in its original batch, the batch is reset as if it had not been sent so that you can complete or re-complete the batch when the billing contact has been changed. If there were other invoices in the original batch, the invoice is removed from its original batch, and a new batch is created to contain the invoice.

- Change the Billing Contact as needed and generate your edited invoice to send to your updated contact.
