Send Self-Billing Invoice
Explanation
This activity is used to send Self-Billing Invoice messages to the Supplier.
Self-billing of purchase orders makes it possible for you as a customer to send
and work with self-billing invoices to a supplier.
When working with Consignment parts, the Self-Billing Invoice is only possible
to send to the supplier via INET_TRANS media code. If the Receiving Advice is
having a mix of both Consignment parts and Company Owned parts, the Self-Billing
Invoice can be sent to the Supplier via media code MHS or EDI, but it will only
include the Self-Billing Invoice (SBI) details for the Company Owned parts.
However, with INET_TRANS both Consignment consumption and Company Owned part
details can be shared.
The operation is done in Receiving Advice page
using Send Self-Billing Invoice.

advice if different invoicing suppliers are used by the purchase order receipts,
