There are two different data types available for bill handling. Depending on the data type (2 or 6) defined for the bill document type, the update of the Accounts Receivable will differ:
- A bill payment with data type 2 settles the A/R documents and changes the balance of the debtor. The bill payment will only be available in the portfolio.
- A bill payment with data type 6 settles the A/R documents by creating a new open document and also changes the balance for the debtor. The bill payment will be available in the Accounts Receivable as well as in the portfolio.
The system creates the General Ledger postings automatically, based on the definition on the payment document type.
