Entering Express Billing Header Information

Bill header information applies to the entire bill and contains all the information identifying where the bill came from, where it is going, when it is going, and how it is formatted. When you load a bill through the Billing Interface, this header information is included from the source system. However, if you are entering the bill online, you must define all of the required header data.

This section discusses how to:

Enter required and general express billing information.
Enter additional express billing information.

Consolidation

Contains a value that you can assign to associate groups of bills that you may want to consolidate. In this field, you can create labels that best suit your business needs.

Note: No prompt table exists for the CONTRACT_NUM field. Because contract numbers can be assigned from a variety of sources, a single prompt table is not adequate for this field. A dynamic prompt to this field is also not appropriate, as no bill header characteristic exists to determine the source of the CONTRACT_NUM value. Bills can contain lines from various sources where CONTRACT_NUM might have different meanings. A contract number in PeopleSoft Contracts, for example, might have a different meaning than one imported from PeopleSoft Order Management that represents a Buying Agreement. You can add a single prompt to this table, if you can predict the source of this information.
