Understanding Customer Billing Instructions

The Customer Master program (P03013) enables you to control the way the system processes EDI information for each customer or trading partner. The EDI information that you set up determines whether you can exchange EDI information with the trading partner and how the system processes the trading partner's records.

For example, you can specify that the customer needs all bills to be sent to a parent company for items that are shipped to branch offices. The system retrieves the parent company billing information every time an order is processed for the customer. You should set up information for all trading partners.
