Adding a Debit or Credit Bill to an Offset Request

Prerequisites

To add a debit or credit bill to an offset request, you should have:

  • Completed bills for accounts of the main customer (whose bill is added as the primary bill in the offset request)

  • Completed bills for effective child persons of the main customer (whose bill is added as the primary bill in the offset request)

  • The Allow Offsetting Across Persons option type of the C1-OFFSETREQ feature configuration set to Y or N based on the business requirements

Procedure

To add a debit or credit bill to an offset request:

  1. Search for the offset request in the Offset Request screen.
  2. In the Search Results section, click the link in the Offset Request Information column corresponding to the offset request whose details you want to edit.
    The Offset Request screen appears.
  3. Ensure that the Main tab is selected.
  4. Enter the search criteria in the Search Bill zone.
    Note:

    The Search Bill zone appears when the offset request is in the Draft status.

    The date range specified in the Bill Date From and Bill Date To fields should not exceed the number of days specified in the Bill Search Period field of the respective offset request type.

    ORMB search engine supports wildcard search, where you can substitute the percentage (%) symbol as a stand in for any word or letter in a search criteria. You can use the '%' wildcard character in all input fields except the date and ID fields. The '%' wildcard character is suffixed automatically at the end of the partial search criteria. Therefore, you may or may not specify the wildcard character at the end of the partial search criteria. However, you have to prefix the wildcard character manually wherever required.

  5. Click Search.
    A list of completed bills that meet the search criteria appears in the Search Results section.
  6. Select the check box corresponding to a completed bill that you want to add to the offset request.
  7. Click the Add button in the Search Bill zone.
    A message appears indicating that the bill is added to the offset request.
    Note: You can only add a completed bill to an offset request when its outstanding amount is not equal to zero.
  8. Click OK.
    The completed bill is added to the offset request. You can view the completed bills which are added to the offset request in the Selected Bills zone.
    Note: The default offset amount is calculated for each bill using the algorithm which is attached in the respective offset request type. For more information on how the default offset amount is calculated, see C1-OFST-AMT.
