Create B2B Application for Payment
Explanation
This activity is used by a Business-to-Business (B2B) supplier user (Contractor) to create an Application for
Payment (AFP) against a selected contract. This AFP appears as a subcontract valuation at the Contract Owner.
The AFP can be created against a combination of currency, unique project, and billing sequence of the line items
used in the called-off subcontract. The combination of these will create a unique AFP. The unique project and
billing sequence can be left blank if they are not used.
Prerequisites
- The supplier (contractor) is defined as a B2B supplier by the Contract Owner.
- The B2B user is connected to the supplier in B2B User - Supplier by the Contract Owner.
- The sub contract at the Contract Owner should exist in either the Awarded, Under Review or
Active status.
- A sub contract revision in Active status should exist.
- The B2B supplier must be allowed to create an AFP against the sub contract i.e. the option B2B Supplier,
Create Valuation Allowed is enabled in Sub Contract/Default tab.
System Effects
- An Application for Payment (AFP) is created, which appears as a valuation in Planned
status.
- A snapshot of the sub contract lines and line items, connected to the selected combination of currency,
unique project and billing sequence, is copied to the valuation.
- The B2B-status of the valuation is set to Released, which means that the Contractor can start entering
application values.
