This function is used to generate rental billings associated with Assets as a Rental Invoice type Work Order. Rental billings are defined by the presence of an Asset Id on the Client Site PM Billing Tab. Unlike PM invoices, the Rental revenue is written to the WO-Other Tab, not the WO-RevAdjust Tab.
This function generates Rental Invoices from the Client Site PM Billing tab. The Asset Id must be complete in the PM Billing line for it to be eligible for Rental Billing.
In previous releases, this function skipped all Sites flagged as Inactive, and did not consider the Date Closed (which could be in the future). In this release, this validation is refined so that Site with a future Date Closed will not be skipped when this function is run, even if it is flagged as Inactive.

Billing entries that include only the amortization of the revenue are listed at the beginning of the report, and will be indicated as such.
