You can associate one or more locations with each customer account. You can use different account locations as shipping address, billing address, and tax invoice address.

You can generate an invoice separately, for purchases made from each account location. Each Account Location may also have a separate tax policy or tax rate.

For example, you are an executive in the billing department of an online university. One of your customers want to add their new location in Miami to their account. With Conga Billing, you can add a new location to your customer's account, and generate a separate invoice for products and services that you bill to this new location.
