Create new sale and renewal tasks

Overview

New sale and renewal tasks are pricebook service items used to sell and renew memberships. Technicians can find the tasks in their pricebook and add them to invoices and estimates. Adding a task to an invoice activates or renews the membership.

Things to know

• A new sale task is a pricebook service item added to estimates and invoices to sell a membership. Each new sale task can only be used to sell one membership type.

• A renewal task is a pricebook service item added to estimates and invoices to renew a fixed-duration membership. Each renewal task can only be used to renew one membership type.

• If you have multiple membership types, create separate tasks to sell and renew them.

• If your account is configured to have different recurring service invoice templates after the first year of a membership, when you add new tasks to the first year invoice template, from a membership add-on they are automatically added to the 2+ year template.
