Turn on chemical usage billing, pick flat or markup pricing, and let completed visits add chemical lines to the monthly invoice.

Requires the Chemical Billing feature. If you do not see it, ask your OpsVara contact whether it is enabled for your account.

When this is on, completed jobs roll chemical-log usage onto the customer's monthly contract invoice. It is off by default — turn it on when the service rate does not already include chemicals. Inventory is included on Crew and up; Launch does not include Inventory.

  1. Turn it on

    Go to SettingsChemical Billing and check Bill Chemical Usage on Monthly Invoices.

  2. Choose how chemicals are priced

    Default Pricing Mode is Flat sell price or Cost plus markup %. If you chose markup, set Default Markup % (the screen defaults to 25). You can still override per product under Inventory.

  3. Tax and how lines look

    Taxable on invoices (unless an item is marked non-taxable) is on by default. Invoice Line Style is Itemized (one line per product) or Summary (single line per month).

  4. Price the products you use most

    On each inventory item, set Chemical Billing to flat, markup, or inherit the tenant default. A product with no resolvable sell price is logged but does not bill.

A plan can override the tenant switch. On the contract, Bill Chemical Usage can be inherit, on, or off. Check that under Sales and BillingContracts if one customer should stay flat-rate.

Techs log chemicals on Dose Plan in the visit wizard (not Parts Used — that is baskets, cords, and hardware). The sell price is stamped when they log the product, so a later markup change does not rewrite last month's invoice.

Verify it worked

Complete a visit with chemicals logged, then open that month's invoice on Sales and BillingInvoices. You should see the plan fee and the chemical lines on one invoice.

Pool companies who want quote through paid invoice can follow the monthly plan plus chemicals playbook.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep chemicals inside the flat rate?

Yes. Leave Bill Chemical Usage on Monthly Invoices off and price the plan to cover chemical cost. Techs can still log what they applied.

Why is a logged product missing from the invoice?

The tenant switch may be off, the contract may override it to Off, or the product has no resolvable sell price (flat sell price or cost plus markup). Free-text materials never bill. Usage from before you enabled billing is not backfilled.
