Confirming Self-Bills
Once a self-bill has been created and payment has been received, use Self-Bill Confirm (27.6.12.7) to create customer open items for all of the invoices that are referenced by a self-bill document.
Important: You cannot apply payment to a self-bill if the Amt Total does not equal the Amt Control Total. Use the Confirm function only when you are satisfied that all the remittance amounts are correct and have been matched.
When you use this program to confirm the self-bill:
• The self-bill amount is finalized and the original customer invoices are closed.
• A new self-bill open item, which uses the self-bill number in the description, is created for the final amount.
• This open item is paid automatically if you have configured automatic self-bill payments for this customer.
• If you have not configured automatic payments for this customer, you can pay this open item manually using banking entry or other customer payment functions.
• When no invoice is specified—the Invoice field on the self-bill is blank and the self-bill line is an adjustment—the system creates a prepayment for the amount with a reference to the self-bill and the self-bill line. This prepayment can be a positive or negative value, depending on whether the adjustment is overpaid or underpaid. This allows for the situation in which the customer pays less than the amount due on the original invoice.
