Defining Bill Sources
To define bill sources, use the Bill Source (BI_SRC) component.
In PeopleSoft Billing, you can enter and identify billing information from a variety of sources, both external systems and online. You use the Bill Source component to define the description and defaults connected to the sources.
If billing information is generated from the mail order desk, the retail sales floor, and the service department—and each of these sources has a tracking system of its own that stores and generates a different set of data—you can define each of these systems as a bill source.

Entry Type/Reason |
Define the debit (DR) entry type and reason, and the credit (CR) entry type and reason for debit and credit activity. The system uses these codes to categorize pending items when passing PeopleSoft Billing information to the PeopleSoft Receivables system. You can define one without the other. Only values predefined in PeopleSoft Receivables are listed as available options. To add new entry types and entry reasons, access the Entry Type page. The default debit and credit entry types and reasons that you define at the bill source level override defaults at the bill type and business unit levels. |
Bill Src Level System Controls (bill source level system controls) |
Two PeopleSoft Billing installation options enable you to enter data in this group box if you want to define them by bill source:
Select the Attach Invoice Image Option to retain an image of the invoice that is generated when the invoice is printed. If the invoice format is a BI publisher and the invoice has been finalized, the print program can be run and the PDF output of the invoice will be attached to the invoice header. |
Use the Bill Source 3 page (BI_SRC3) to define bill source VAT controls.

Countries that use VAT must separately report the sale and purchase of goods from the sale and purchase of services. Applicable VAT defaults such as VAT declaration point, VAT code, and VAT transaction type can be defined for a bill source identifier for countries and states that are registered with VAT authorities. Setting up VAT defaults for a bill source identifier is optional.
