Documentation

Definition

If you select the "Advance billing" indicator, the system will generate a billing document that generates a due date in the customer account before the service has been performed by the publisher.

Use

To enable you to offer the customer more favourable payment terms for payment before the publication date, you can bill this business transaction in advance and transfer it to Financial Accounting.

Procedure

If the business transaction involves a posting period in the future, G/L account postings should be made to accruals accounts that you then write off in the posting period for the service date.

Dependencies

If advance billing is required, the system defines an invoice split for each billing dataset.

Note

This field was called "Advance payment" prior to Release 4.0.
