Render and format a party bill/invoice.
Render & Format Bill/Invoice renders and formats a party bill/invoice. A bill is a notice for payment which is supposed to be preceded by an invoice in most cases. An invoice typically does not summarize to total outstanding payment or payments due. A bill typically contains the payment due date and balance. This process uses a specification, defined by Establish & Maintain Party Bill Invoice Format, for formatting a bill/invoices in different ways and to achieve different publishing possibilities. The specification supports the creation of different bill/invoice formats for different publication media. The process is further responsible for splitting and re-arranging a bill/invoice for a party (particularly a party with a complex account structures) according to agreements made with a party.
