Definition

Use

You use the bill category to differentiate between aggregation accounts of the service provider.

For payments to be handled effectively in the deregulated market, the the individual due dates to be paid over to a third party service provider are aggregated. Depending on the service provider settings, this takes place in Accounts Payable Accounting (FI-AP) or in Contract Accounting (FI-CA).

There are various reasons why it may be necessary to execute posting in FI-AP or FI-CA to seperate accounts. The bill category helps to determine the necessary account. You must allocate the bill category to an account when maintaining the service provider accounts.

Since the bill categories are company-specifically defined, they are also determined using company-specific programming. The value SPACE is used as default.
