Milestone Schedule

Overview

The Milestone Schedule defines the schedule of events (milestones) that are billable for Awards that are set up with the invoicing option of milestone, along with the associated amounts and estimated completion date for each milestone.

• Milestone Schedules can be bulk imported using the Milestone Schedule Upload. Refer to Milestone and Predetermined Billing Schedule Upload for more information. 
• Permissions control who can modify the milestone number, description and amount. Users with the Create / Maintain Record(s) MILE TRUE can edit actual and estimated completion dates on existing milestones. 
• The total milestone schedules associated with an award cannot exceed the award amount.
• If the billing frequency on an award is changed to a cost reimbursable billing frequency, all milestone schedules associated with the award must be inactivated.
