Preparing to Use Self‑Billing
AR Self-Billing uses processed shipping information to match incoming customer-initiated payments. The system must first process shipping information for the incoming remittance.
Shipment details are captured at the time a shipper is confirmed. Invoice, tax, order-level discount, and trailer information is captured at the time of invoice posting.
Note: The Sales Order Shipment program does not capture self-billing information.
You activate Self-Billing for the system using Self-Billing Control (27.6.12.24).
