Retaining Invoice Image

During the invoice print processing, the system can generate an image of the formatted invoice for permanent storage. The image that is generated is in a PDF file format and is automatically attached to the bill header. The image is viewable from the Bill Summary or Supporting Documentation components. If the eBill Payment product is installed, the image can also be viewed by your customers from the self-service Bill Summary page.

The invoice image is produced by the BI_XMLPBURST program when the invoice is finalized. An image is not retained when a pro forma or a reprint is run for the invoice. This feature is available only for invoices that specify a BI Publisher invoice format. This feature is not available for invoices marked for the following Invoice Media delivery options: Invoice Notification, EDI and Federal Highway File because a formatted invoice is not produced for these media types.
