The BIINIU Job

You can initiate the BIINIU job from the Express Issue and Shipping/Issues - Order Summary page to create invoices for intercompany transfers.

The first process the system runs for this job is the Transfer Order Billing Load process (INS6300), which extracts all intercompany transfer order information with the same shipping identifier from the inventory shipping table (IN_DEMAND) and loads that information into the PeopleSoft Billing Interface table (INTFC_BI). Once this information is within PeopleSoft Billing, it is ready for subsequent processing. The BIINIU2 job is similar to BIINIU, but contains only SQR print processing and no post-invoicing processes. Likewise, the BIINIU3 job contains only SQR print processes, but does contain the post-invoicing processes.

You initiate the Transfer Order Billing Load process from the PeopleSoft Inventory Express Issue and Shipping/Issues components, as well as from the InterUnit Bill Load Process page.

Note:

All shipment activity for a shipping identifier is loaded to PeopleSoft Billing even if the direct invoice option is not selected.

This table lists all of the processes that are part of the BIINIU job used in PeopleSoft Inventory:

Process	What Is Selected Now?	What Should Be Processed Later?
Transfer Order Billing Load (INS6300)	All activity for ship ID.	Nothing.
Billing Interface (BIIF0001)	All activity for INTFC ID. For intercompany transfers with direct invoicing selected at the customer level, the Billing Interface process creates bills in RDY status, unless there are errors. For intercompany transfers without direct invoicing selected, the Billing Interface process creates bills according to the status that you defined on the Billing Bill By Identifier page: New, Pending, or Hold.	All activity for INTFC ID with errors.
VAT Defaulting (BIPVAT00)	Applies defaults at the bill header and line levels for VAT fields. Selects all VAT bills with Defaults Applied = No. Status changes from RDY to HLD if defaulting fails. Defaults applied change to Yes if defaulting succeeds. If your business never processes VAT invoices, you can remove this step from the BIINIU job.	All VAT bills with VAT defaulting errors.
Invoice Finalization (BIIVC000)	All bills for range selection ID with direct invoice option On. Status is changes to: FNL: If paid by credit card. INV: If not paid by credit card.	All bills for range selection ID with direct invoice option Off. The status of activity is RDY. Any bills for the range selection ID that were found to have errors. Any pending credit card transactions that were created.
Invoice Extract Process (BI_IVCEXT)	Selects all printable bills with range selection ID specified by the direct invoicing job. All printable bills will be extracted into the Billing extract tables. This process also prepares the run control records for the SQR and BI Publisher invoice print processes.
Invoice Printing (BISPJ00, BISLSUM, BIXPJ00)	All printed bills extracted by the Invoice Extract process. The system prints these bills using one of several processes, depending on the invoice form. All bills get marked as printed and get assigned a print date. All bills that are marked for Email invoice as attachment will be emailed by the BI_XMLPBURST process and will get marked as email sent. Also, the invoice image is attached to the bill header by the BI_XMLPBURST process for bills that are marked for retain invoice image.
Billing Currency Conversion (BICURCNV)	All bills for range selection ID with a status of FNL or INV. Your business practices may dictate different timing for running currency conversion. However, currency conversion must be completed before billing activity can be interfaced to PeopleSoft Receivables or General Ledger.	All bills for range selection ID with direct invoice option Off.
