Integration

The Contract Billing (IS-U-BI) component sends billing documents, credit memos, backbillings and the basis for the budget billing plans to invoicing. The budget billing plan is formed on the basis of the budget billing extrapolation lines, which are created automatically in periodic billing.

Invoicing links the Utilities Industry (IS-U) component with the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) component. Posting documents and budget billing plans are created in FI-CA and are taken into account by invoicing during account maintenance.

The Print Workbench (IS-U-TO-PW) component is used for creating the bill form.
