Because accounting cannot see delivery. Somebody reads a report, decides what is billable and types it in, and every step is a chance to drop a line or use the wrong rate.
The error is found at quarter end if at all, by which point the customer has paid the wrong amount or not been asked for the right one.
Lines assemble from delivered work in Loop and approved expense claims, priced at the catalogue rate that applied when the quote was issued. Payment terms come from the contract rather than a default.

It will not send without approval. The schedule drafts automatically; issuing is a decision.
It also will not chase payment beyond the reminders you schedule.
Milestones bill when work is recorded delivered, not when somebody remembers. Out-of-contract support time reaches the invoice without being re-keyed from a ticket.
Unbilled delivered work becomes a visible figure rather than a suspicion.
Yes, grouped by customer, with lines traceable to each.
Applied at the agreed rate, shown as its own line.
Yes, and it stays on the schedule for the next run.
We will run it end to end on your own numbers in half an hour, and tell you honestly which parts Treepie does not improve.
