To set up monthly billing invoices

To handle invoicing and payments by your customers according to Japanese business practice, set up the following functionality:

• Monthly billing invoices
• Customer approval
• Invoices by shipment

To set up the generation of monthly billing invoices for your customers, use the following sequence of sessions:

1. Parametri gruppo (tfgld0101s000)
   On the Strategie tab, select the Fatture mensili (MBI) check box.
2. Metodi di chiusura (tcmcs2105m000)
   Define the required closing methods for the generation of monthly billing invoices.
3. Parametri ACR (tfacr0100s000)

   Set the following parameters:

   • Genera MBI a livello di gruppo
     To generate the monthly billing invoices centrally for all the companies of the financial company group, select the check box. Se la casella di controllo è selezionata, you can only generate monthly billing invoices if you work in the group company. To generate the monthly billing invoices individually in each company, clear the check box.
   • Gruppo numeri
     The number group LN uses to generate document numbers for monthly billing invoices.
   • Serie predefinita
     The default series LN uses to generate document numbers for monthly billing invoices.
4. Business Partner 'Destinazione fattura' (tccom4112s000)
   For invoice-to business partners to which you want to send monthly billing invoices, select the Invia MBI check box. In the Metodo di chiusura field, you must select a closing method.
5. Serie fattura mensile (MBI) B. Partner 'Destinaz. fattura' (tfacr0109m000)
   For each invoice-to business partner, you can select a specific series for the document numbers for the monthly billing invoices, if you choose. The series must belong to the number group for monthly billing invoices that you entered in the Parametri ACR (tfacr0100s000) session, and overrules the default series. You can only select a series if the series length of the number group is greater than zero.
