Send Self-Billing Invoice
Explanation
This activity is used to send Self-Billing Invoice messages to the Supplier. Self-billing of purchase orders
makes it possible for you as a customer to send and work with self-billing invoices to a supplier.
When working with Consignment parts, the Self-Billing Invoice is only possible to send to the supplier via
INET_TRANS media code. If the Receiving Advice is having a mix of both Consignment parts and Company Owned parts,
the Self-Billing Invoice can be sent to the Supplier via media code MHS or EDI, but it will only include the
Self-Billing Invoice (SBI) details for the Company Owned parts. However, with INET_TRANS both Consignment
consumption and Company Owned part details can be shared.
The operation is done in Receiving Advice page using Send Self-Billing
Invoice.
