Bill charges can be posted at different points in time:

• If you post the bill of exchange receivable, you charge your customer the bill charges.
• If you pass on the bill of exchange to a bank for usage, the bank will charge the bill charges to your account.

Details regarding how the bill charges that your customer is to pay are calculated can be made when entering a bill of exchange receivable. The entry screen contains special fields where this data can be entered.

Specify the required screen variant for each company code. In an Italian company code, the above-mentioned data for the domicile bank and the German State Central Bank location is not necessary. In this case, a different screen to the one above is displayed.

If you invoice the customer for the bill charges, you can define defaults for the corresponding fields in the system. These defaults can be changed when entering a payment by bill of exchange.

The following defaults can be defined:

• Discount percentage rate

• Collection charges amount in local currency

• Tax code for sales/purchase tax on bill of exchange charges
