Generating Paperless Invoices Through the Billing Interface

Three types of paperless invoice may be generated through the Billing interface: Email Notification for bills presented through the eBill Payment application, EDI bills and Email Invoice as Attachment. To determine which type of invoice to generate, the Billing Interface process examines the invoice communication preference setting of the customer's billing contact and provides the bill-to media field by default for the invoice as follows:

Preferred Communication	Bill-To Media Default
C (Call)	Print
Email Invoice as Attachment	Email Invoice as Attachment
F (Fax)	Print
I (XML only)	EDI
M (Standard mail)	Print
Email Notification	Email Notification
R (XML & Print)	EDI

Important! If eBill Payment is not installed, the bill-to media will be provided by default as Print instead of Email.

The bill-to media can be changed using the Invoice Media field in online bill entry. However, the automatic bill-to media defaulting of the Billing interface process cannot be overridden.
