      Definition: A Bill of Exchange is a signed, written order prepared by one party (drawer) who instructs another party (drawee) to pay a certain sum to a third party (payee) at a due date.

      The Bill of Exchange is used as a method of incoming or outgoing payment with a due date, as credit for the customer or as a flexible financing tool.

      Process of incoming payments:

      1. The company prepares a payment requirement to send to the vendor (status: Sent). If the vendor approves, proceed to step 2, else the payment requirement is canceled (status: Canceled).
      2. SAP Business One generates a Bill Of Exchange (status: Generated).
      3. The company deposits the Bill Of Exchange in the bank (status: Deposit). (Reconciliation between the Bill Of Exchange and the bank can be done.)
      4. The bank pays the vendor (status: Paid). (Reconciliation between the Bill Of Exchange and the bank can be done.) If the payment succeeds the bank sends a payment confirmation to the company (in France only, the Bill Of Exchange status is changed to Closed). If the payment fails, the Bill Of Exchange status is changed to Failed.

      Note: Perform steps 1 and 2 using the BillOfExchange object. Perform steps 3 and 4 using the BillOfExchangeTransaction object.

      Process of outgoing payments:

      1. The company approves the payment requirement issued by the vendor and generates a Bill Of Exchange (status: Generated).
      2. The bank pays the vendor (status: Paid). (Reconciliation between the Bill Of Exchange and the bank can be done.) If the payment succeeds the bank sends a payment confirmation to the company (in France only, the Bill Of Exchange status is changed to Closed). If the payment fails, the Bill Of Exchange status is changed to Canceled.

      Note: Perform step 1 using the BillOfExchange object. Perform step 2 using the BillOfExchangeTransaction object.
