More than 1 Item Bill Group Allowed During Initialization

When Initializing a bill in JB Bill Initialization, it would  be nice to be able to choose multiple Item Bill Groups to bill.  For Example, we have Bill Groups from 01 - 05 and then 20.  The owner wants to only see 01 - 05 in their current pay request.  Item 20 is for another part of the billing.  I cannot remove Item Bill Group 20 for the current bill without going to Job Cost JC Contract Items and change the Bill Type to None.  This is a work around that should not happen.

    We too have to do several work arounds to create billings that we need the detail for the project team to approve work progress, but a summary that rolls up to another level, that then totals up all items at the contract or PO. With only 1 bill group option, we have to export to side spreadsheets to do subtotals. Are there any updates on this suggestion? There are multiple suggestions for this request.

    I agree that you should be able to bill more than one bill group.  We have a project that has more than one building.  Each building now has to lump into one bill group, instead of being separated.  I would prefer Building One have bill groups 10 - 19, Building Two bill groups 20 - 29....

    You should be able to bill multiple bill groups at once. Currently you can only restrict a JB Progress Bill by one bill group
