Process documentationConfiguration of Archive

 

The Billing Consolidation Connector (FIN-FSCM-BC-CON) component uses archives for the following reasons:

  • Archives serve as storage locations for the PDF file of the document. The sending program retrieves the PDF file from the archive and sends it.

  • The vendor (biller) uses the archive as a safe storage location for data that is returned by the service provider (signed files that the service provider has forwarded to the customer, such as signed invoices), according to the auditing requirements.

  • The customer uses the archive as a safe storage location for vendor data received by the service provider, according to auditing requirements.

Prerequisites

An archive that can communicate with the ArchiveLink interface is available in the system.

Process

You must make several settings so that the Billing Consolidation Connector (FIN-FSCM-BC-CON) component uses the existing archive correctly. You must carry out the following steps:

  1. Check that the required document classes are available in the system. For more information, see Checking ArchiveLink Document Classes.

  2. Check that the required document types are available in the system. For more information, see Checking ArchiveLink Document Types.

  3. Define the archive. For more information, see Defining Archive.

  4. Define how the system is to access the archive. For more information, see Determining Type of Archive Access.

  5. Link the archive to the document types that you use. For more information, see Linking Archive with Document Types.
